My 40g will have 40 lbs live rock and hang on back refugium with 2 powerheads. I can put filter sock with carbon in the HOB refugium, is this enough mechanical filtration? thanks
I have a fluval 305 but Im thinking of returning it for refund as advice is not needed.

Your right on the money hunter, return the canister filter and just add the carbon sock, youll do fine, hope this helps!

I would run a bag of chemipure elite over just straight carbon. If your really worried you could get a BRS single reactor to run the carbon and just mount it to the stand or the wall behind the tank. Also might want to look into a HOB skimmer down the road.

Sounds good. I'll do the chemipure and check out the reactor. Im planning to get the HOB reef octopus skimmer ASAP. Gives me more room getting the fluval out of my set up.
