s a 65 gallon too small for a school of chromis?

#1 is probably the most effective, unfortunately.
#2 I don't see this being a viable option cause siphoning up is difficult.
#3 is the way I would go.

There's dispute amongst those in the hobby of how many pods make through the return pump whole or in pieces. There is the option of a refugium that hangs on the back that overflows into your DT. In my 210 that's in the works, I'm having a fuge built into it. It will mirror the overflow box but have many drilled holes for circulation and pod escape. It's a bit tedious to do in an existing aquarium but, depending on how it has been aqua-scaped, it could be drained several inches, siliconed in and filled back up over the course of a day and a half.

I probably wont venture into the HOB fuge but Im also unsure the pods would still be alive after going through the return pump

I've heard of people keeping mollies in their sump and eventually having a population in their display tank. I think if fry can make it through the pump, a good percentage of pods would as well.

I hadn't heard of that, but I'd agree that if they can make it, so should the pods.
