I ride in a wonderful vehicle called Calgary Transit. Its a sweet ride. Free gas!

So it will be a 10 gallon that i will have as a sump/refugium. It looks as if filters are very frowned upon when it comes to reef tanks for sure now. So would a 10 gallon sump/refugium combination be enough for filteration (and overflow)?

I really feel sketchy about not using a filter (canister or HOB) having freshwater tanks for so long. But the use of filter floss and carbon is a thing that appeals to me.

Anyways, i have a RO/DI filter on the way, with a possible bak pak 2 and mag 5 on the way (if they haven't been sold already)

Now i just have to figure out the plumbing/piping and everything that goes with using a sump/refugium combination. If there is any links on how to do this properly would be a great help. I have seen a few things but i must be reading too much into everything.

I figure that if i get someone that i know that has a reef tank (that i know or work with) that it will be another great resource.
