Hello a friend wast to start up a FO 35 gallon tank and is looking for a HOB filter -I suggested the Bak Pak 2 for bio and skimmer
Any thoughts on if this would be good way to go Or not
Will he neeed skimmer with FO - he may want some inverts like snails crabs but no corals

fluidized beds are awesome biofilters (you really should put a sponge on their intake though) but why not some live rock and a decent skimmer? A typhoon HOB would be great on that sized tank and some live rock would make a great biofilter.
