I have a 26 gallon bowfront nano mixed reef, with a hang on back protein skimmer and a hang on back refugium (more like a hospital tank, I don't use it for macro algae). these units have served me well for a while on various tanks, but I am looking to upgrade.
Unfortunately, I lack the space to do a sump. So it looks like something that hangs on the back of the tank is still the only option. I'm thinking of going for the same concept, just combining the two units. What do you guys think of a hang-on-back refugium/skimmer combo like this one?

I'm leaning towards getting it but I need some second opinions.
Also if anyone could answer me a few things: would an over sized protein skimmer work as efficiently on a much smaller tank than what it's rated for? And would an extra 15-16 pounds hanging off of the back of my tank be anything to be concerned about?
