    Hello All,

    I have been reading up on the Pentair filters and it seems you all don't like them much. I have a 95 gallon flat back hex tank. I just ordered a Refugium for it and I also have the Pentair filter system on it. I have an AF-94 which I thought I would put Phosban in and a AF-93 I was going to put carbon in and I have 2 UV light canisters. My tank was drill and has 2 intakes on the bottom and they come back up thru a prefilter box. I will be pumping out about 500 GPH thru the Pentair system and about 1200 GPH thru the sump(500 or so thru the refugium and the rest thru the sump). I have it split off so the majority of the water just passes thru and a percentage goes thru the refugium. I also have a skimmer in the sump made by Tanze. Any opions on this setup or ways to improve it?
