I've also considered drilling the tank to add a 10 gallon refugium, mainly because my fiancé really wants a mandarin. I've also debated getting rid of the small powerhead on the left side of the tank to add a protein skimmer. The HOB filter is already just a media basket that will either have chemipro elite or chemipro blue. I don't want to run all 3 of these since I feel like that would suck all my nutrients up without the coral actually getting a chance. what would you guys suggest? I'm open to any combination or singular option. thank you guys!
