filter recommendation for 80 gallon

[aznepydna]

I am looking for an internal filter for a saltwater fish only system. Tank is 36x18x28h. This will be in an office which will be serviced once per week. Tank will be in wall with two long sides and one end visable. Need something easy to clean. Prefer no protein skimmer or osmolator. Thanks.

I would get the ReefPack 500 but that does include a skimmer and osmolator but I know it will work very well. Otherwise I would probably get the Riverpack 500 which also includes an Osmolator and instead of a skimmer it has a denitrator. Basically the Osmolator is virtually a freebie in these sets so it is better than piecing something together.

What about biological filtration for the ReefPack 500?

The Reefpack is based upon using liverock for the biofiltration and it provides a plankton safe skimmer and mechanical filtration. You can always add the 3179 Biohydroreactor if you want added bio filtration.

IMO, if you want it to be as maintenance free as possible, have as big of a skimmer as possible(?)
