I was hoping to get some various opinions with Pros/Cons on (non drilled tank):
Setup #1
HOB Refugium
Canister Filter w/ overflow mod to grab water from the top
Protein Skimmer
Setup #2
On the side of the tank (no room for underneath)
In Sump Refugium
Protein Skimmer
I was currently going along the lines of option #2 until I was advised that for a 55gal mixed reef...there was too many things to worry about in terms of more flood club membership with that option and #1 was a better option.
