I have a 55g with a marineland 350 bio wheel filter and a CPR dual bak pak skimmer .... I wanted to add a sump or refugium to my setup that I would still be able to use the skimmer without getting new one .... Now the problem is the tank is already in place and I don't want to remove to place the sump/refugium under my tank so pretty much my option are go wit proflex model 1 sump which is not big enough to house my skimmer and it is very small chambers or to go with maybe a 10 gallon sump under the tank to house the heater and skimmer and then also adding a hang on back refugium... Now originally I wanted just a sump to hide accessories but was to go refugium route so now I have a dilemma .... If I was to go w 10 g sump can I ditche the bio wheel filter all together or should I keep my setup I have now and not worry about seeing the heater the skimmer and the filter in the tank ... Is it worth buying a sump and hob refugium I have been reading day and night to the point where I'm about to give up but I am always thrown in circles .... Can someone please help me and let me know what the best option to use would be ..... Thanks
