Filter configuration for IM Drop Off 20

[MONTANTK]

In the process of setting up my IM Drop Off 20 and I was looking for recommendations when it came to putting equipment in the back chambers.

Option A:
1st chamber- Custom Caddy Media Basket
2nd chamber- AquaShield UV Sterilizer

Option B:
1st chamber- UV Sterilizer (filter sock looking one)
2nd chamber- Nuvo Bioskim

I plan on having an SPS dominated system with 4 fish. Open to other suggestions as well.

I can’t answer the specific question but I can bump the thread for you to see if anyone can help out

So I went with the UV in the 1st chamber but still unsure what to do in the second chamber. I realized most skimmers probably won’t fit since my heater is in the chamber. I may just throw random media in it or get a reactor. I also considered trying one of the coralife skimmers

I had that same issue with my heater. I tucked it into the return chamber and I run the Eshopps nano skimmer in the 2nd chamber.

I can’t remember, does the nano skimmer use an air stone?

Mine does not. It has a very small sicce pump
