    I have a 16gal Bowfront, but as far as filtration goes, could i just us a HOB Remora skimmer, load it with LR/LS and go to town? I would run carbon under near the outflow of the skimmer.

    Im just wanting to keep easy softies for now. Xenias, Zoas, Shrooms.

    hrm. i do have a little HOB filter that i picked up. might aswell hang that off the other side and run my carbon through that with sponge.

    I was thinking about just buying a Nanocube but i figure i can have HOB stuff and save some money. workin with a budget here lol.

    Well then i'll be expecting some pics from you aswell!;D Good luck with the setup, hope it goes smooth for ya. I'm just worried about keeping the Params straight. i've never had anything this small. Good water changes and should be ok though....
