    Nope, but I am thinking about it for my future Nano Reef tank. The new CPR deal you put up looks like a winner. I may go for one of those.

    I don't currently use one, but on my last tank I had one. With my new tank it is now in the sump. I liked the HOB better, I knew critters were flowing over the edge into the display alive (I saw them a lot coming from the drain). Now with mine in the sump, I am pretty sure the pumps are killing most everything (very few may get through.) My next tank will have the refugium gravity feed the main display again, doesn't have to be a HOB, water level just has to be a bit higher than the display.
