cpr aquafuge... or go for the aquatraders one for cheap. dont go with the ecosystems ones, i dont like them, they use a siphon to suck water into the fuge and a pump to go out. therefore u could use it on a tank with a sump or u would overflow it.

^ probably ur best and cheapest bet. te pump draws water in and it goes out of the other side. very similar to a smaller aquafuge. it is superior to an aquaclear because u have much more room, and it cost 1/2 the price

how much room do you have on the back of the tank, is it up against a wall?

Not a-lot of room. it's an Aqua Pod 24. Will the http://shop.aquatraders.com/Hang-On-Refugium-with-Protein-Skimmer-14in-p/43016.htm fit? & how well does the skimmer work?

If you have a little room for a 10G tank
I would highly recommend to DIY a 10G sump
I did it myself, and is super easy and simple
Used 10G tank, $5, new for $9.99
Plastic board, glue, $5~15
Used good condition pump, $15
Plastic soft pipes, connectors, switches, $10~20
And drill 2 holes on the intake of the Refugium sump,(in case power out, water will only fall to where the level of your holes are. )
Live rocks, sand, grass...up to how many you want
from home depot for $5, and a light bulb for $10? remember around 6500K, don't go to high or too low.
I finished my Refugium for around $50~70
Oh, and a hang on used good condition skimmer only cost me $20
Hope this would help

I do not have the room for another tank. Can anyone confirm this will fit in the back of my Aqua Pod? http://shop.aquatraders.com/Hang-On-Refugium-with-Protein-Skimmer-14in-p/43016.htm
