nudge me in right direction

Thanks again.
Ive stumbled acroos the BakPak Dual Skimmer/Filter while bleary eyed on the
internet.
This seems like something I`d be comfortable with . I`ll have Live-Rock in
the Aquarium also.

Let me know if there any concerns about this model. I`m gonna make a move in
the near future.

If you follow Mike's suggestion of buying a CPR, you will be in a better
position to move towards a full reef system if you want to do that later.
The Eheim is closer to the filtration systems used in the 80s. That might
be more familiar to you.

The Eheim is just a fancy wet/dry filter. If you want to stick with that
sort of technology, you might be able to find another wet/dry that hangs
on the back of the tank.

With a refugium, you're going more to a living filtration system. It's a
bit harder to get everything into balance and keep it there.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.

The skimmer/filter is nice. It's not the greatest skimmer, but it's
good. Refugiums are also nice if you plan on keeping such fish as
mandarin/psychedelic gobies, 4 wheel drive gobies, etc.
