Filtration: I plan on getting a sump with a refugium but don't know whats good these days. What do you guys recommend?
I also own a Rena filstar xp4 canister filter which i plan to use as an addition holding the appropriate necessary filter media.


Water: I plan on getting an RO/DI unit from Bulk Reef Supply.

I'm hoping this setup will allow me to house most if not all types of coral.
You guys are the experts, i'm new to this so please give me your input.
Thanks
