I used a Finnex HOB as a fuge, from my experience in the past with all-in-one systems, there is usually a build up that happens that would be a nuisance to clean every 2 to 3 weeks. most compartments on theses systems are 2 to 2.5 inches and 12 to 14 inches deep and it's going to be difficult to get proper water flow so the build up happens.
I suggest the Turkey Baster method every week to get the build up out otherwise when the spike hits, it's pretty extreme.
I've kept a dragonet in my 24 Pod for about 6 years before giving it away, it did fine but I did buy a pod pack to kick start the culture. It can work but you need to keep aware of your pod colony. If you're building a reef system, I'm going to assume you don't have a problem with the misc. costs that come with it.
I would rec. that you think about a HOB fuge for culturing and colonizing as well as being able to add some volume of water to your system.
Good Luck!
FYI, if you click the "IMG" on photobucket, it automatically copies the direct link and pastes the pic to your posts without people linking to another page. The paste would be 2 lines that you would see.
