I'm set on getting a Dreambox. At this point, I'm just trying to decide on the options, and I need some feedback/advise.
My current sump is 66g (48x20x16) which includes a refugium
In the sump, I run a Reef Octopus SRO3000SSS, the fuge & two Eheim 250W heaters.
I use a Reeflo Super Dart/Snapper external return pump, and I have a BRS media reactor (currently with Carbon) with the Sicce pump in the skimmer section.
The sump has spots for two 7" filter socks, but I've since removed them.
The tank is currently plumbed with 2 1.5" drains (Herbie configuration) and 3 1" returns (with 3/4" Loc-Line nozzles).
Here is what I'm considering...
Either a Dreambox 5c plus a refugium or a 7c without one.
I plan on upgrading both to a RD3 150 and having another RD3 50 to feed the media reactor...eliminates the manifold (Thanks Scott! :wave
.
Here's my dilemma, I'm torn on both the idea of going without a refugium (is the chaeto and reverse light cycle that valuable?), and I'm also concerned about all those filter socks. I took out the current socks because all they seemed to do was trap pods.
I'd like to know if any other Dreambox owners had similar reservations and/or had any thoughts on before/after when they installed their Dreambox.
Thanks.

P.S. Scott, I sent you another email regarding the order as well as some Masterflex stuff.
