should i build a refugium for natural filtration or macroalgea.

if so what do i need? small live rock or something, im not sure, but i found one that has a build in pump, protein skimmer, and is hangon.

If you want to use one of those all-in-one setups I'd go for the larger size... I've got a CPR bak-pak skimmer and an AC70 fuge on my 20H and I feel like it does much better than one of those. On a side note... I've thought about making my own setup similar to that in order to eliminate an extra pump from my system.

A refugium is a good idea. You're going to want to fill it with a layer of live rock rubble on the bottom and macroalgae on top.
