I'm trying to figure out what type of filtration would be ideal to use for my upcoming octo tank. I plan to have some live rock, but not a whole lot, as obtaining 40 lbs is not cheap or easy in my area. So having an extra means of filtration is expected and probably required for an OCTO since they have a lot of waste?
So now my question, what would be a good method or 2 to pick between for filtration?
I was thinking plumbing something like a Fluval 405 into bulkheads drilled into the back of the tank? And having a simple sump tank under the stand mostly just to house the protein skimmer, and add water volume. Or should I looking into making a full on wet/dry refugium sump filtration? Bascially I don't want any over the top type devices. For this I was kind of looking at the Proflex Aqueon Refugium model 2. Or the Crystal Sump - Sump 30
