gilbertjanke is on a roll

The skimmer im running (please dont laugh) is an Odyssea PS75. I know its "over seas garbage" but it does skim pretty decently for what i paid for it. I doubt that i have to worry about starving the chaeto of nitrates. I guess you never know though. My primary reason of wanting a fuge is to reduce phosphates though. To run the aquaclear as mechanical and chemical filtration is a no go for me bc the TetraTec 500 already does a great job of that. And has a built in heater. So unless you guys think that the fuge would be a great way to reduce phosphates, i would just leave my filtration as is.

Is it still worth setting up a fuge instead of my current HOB? Or could i turn my current HOB into a fuge like i could the aquaclear? It is made out of black plastic though, so only light chaeto would be getting is from the top and not from sides. Would that be ok?
