20L - DIY AIO or HOB filter/HOB Skimmer?

mrBananas · Jan 19, 2014

I recently purchased a 20L during the $1/gal sale because why not. I haven't decided on how I want to run it yet. However, it will most likely it will be more for corals and less for fish. I like idea of an AIO similar tohttp://www.badfishre...n-one-kits.html. I've heard the owner went MIA, so if needed I could always make a similar DIY. My other option would be going the route of a HOB skimmer and/or aquaclear 70 set up as a refugium. What are your thoughts? Any advice is appreciated.

The all in one is a good idea, you can run macro algae in there to help scrub the water. Huge skimmer would also do nicely as a means to scrub the water. I'd not use the filter set up though.
I'd go with the AIO as a first thought and the skimmer as a second.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm leaning towards the AIO setup. I just have to decide between the peninsula version or the center AIO. I'm think the peninsula would work out better.
