Default Dual Bak-Pak 2

Isn't that filter considered more of a skimmer? Is extra filtration needed when running this?

Depends on its use. FO, sure. FOWLR, maybe not. Reef system with live rock and a sand bed, nope.

SF, just wanted to point out that at this point you are probably more towards a FO tank than a FOWLR tank. You still need to add more live rock IMO.

If you have liverock than that will take care of your biological filtration. A good skimmer would be better than a canister filter at this point. I would take a look at the Aqua C Remora pro. I think you would be more happy with this than with the CPR

I agree, the AquaC will be near maintance free, and is hands down the best HO filter around.
