I would first suggest a sump. If that is not possible, then a CPR will be the next choice. I had one on my 55g tank, stand was too small for sump. It worked wonders. It served its purpose. The only problem is they are expensive. For $149, you could build a very nice DIY sump.
I have a used 24'' model. Too bad your not in the US.... |

I really like mine. Grows chaeto like crazy and gives pods a place to flourish and migrate into the main tank.
Keeping it on a reverse light schedule also helps keep the pH more level in the main tank at night. Tracy

I have one and its is a great place for pods, chaeto, mangroves, etc.
I'm doing my system over and will be converting to a sump and a larger refug. If you have the space and time, I'd recommend going with the sump and/or refug now. Of course, all this depends on what you want the refug for. |

I just bought the Medium sized one from J and L in Burnaby u should get it there if ur buying LFS. I'm happy with it so far but I haven't had it for more than a week. It comes with this net for a bubble eliminator, I'm not sure if pods will slip thru it does anybody know here?

So far so good with my CPR, used an off name brand previously and it leaked.
