best sump/ filtration

[claymax]

im not an expert here, but i think the consensus is that wet/dry are not recommended for sps systems, as they tend to be nitrate factories. refugiums arent uncommon but i dont think they can pull out quite enough nitrate/phosphates on its own that an sps system would require. an oversized skimmer(twice total system volume), and alot of quality live rock would be a good way to start. the nice part of starting with a big skimmer is it allows you to dabble in some v/s/v, prodibo, and zeo systems later on.

add in a gfo reactor and you should be set.

also, algae turf scrubbers are worth a look into, as there seems to be some success behind those as well.
