    How is less more?

    I’ve been looking at HOB refugiums and it has me scratching my head why are HOB power filters less expensive than a HOB fuges?! They are basically the same basic shape but that there are more components in a power filter, ergo costs to those one would think are more. The fuges I’m looking at...
