Hello
I have recently setup a 48x18x18inc marine tank it is quite basic at the moment and I kind of want to keep it that way, it is only going to stock 1 or 2 stomatopods along with a clean up crew and some hardy/easy to keep corals nothing over the top.
Rite now its stocked with Live Rock and has a Fluval Fx5 running on it in the Fx5 is Seachem Matrix and Coarse crushed coral bone (1-2inch long ea), I do not want to add a sump to this tank even though I am fully aware of its benefits, I actually have plans in the future to turn this current 48x18x18 into a sump for a larger tank, besides that.
I have seen 2 things online that have caught my eyes the "Reefoctopus Module Eco" & the "Reefoctopus Eco".
Eco

Module Eco
http://www.reefoctopus.com.au/v2/pub/products.cfm?range=5BD0A400-5A21-4D19-8421B3794D00261F
I guess I'm wondering if anyone has ever used either of these ?
The Eco is basic...I am more questioning the "efficiency" of the Skimmer in the HOB module, since I don't have a skimmer at the moment.
EDIT: I would also love to hear about any other HOB type filters/refugs that people have had before Or if this has been braught up before can you please redirect me to the thread.
Cheers
