Hello Everybody! How are all your days going!? Anyways, I have a question. I have a 40 Gallon Tank that will be stocked somewhat heavily, here is my list to hopefully prove that-

1 Percula Clown and 1 Ocellaris
Yellow Assessor
Lawnmower Blenny
Coral Beauty Angelfish
Aiptasia Eating Filefish

So, to get to the point, I am having a budget FOWLR (And invertebrates) tank and I plan to feed (Mysis in the morning and New Life Spectrum Pellets are Hikari Herbivore Pellets) and some phytoplankton so, I just wanted a small filter and a protein skimmer but I found these things that have protein skimmers with filters! I am tired of my old crappy, intrusive canister filter and I do want a protein skimmer and I just wanted to know what are your reefers's opinions on these? I was really looking at the Bubble Magnus QQ1. What are your reviews on these ones to?

I'd recommend getting a H.O.B. Filter and a separate H.O.B. skimmer.

For filter look at the Aqua Clear or Sea Chem Tidal line. Aquamaxx has some interesting combo filters.

Skimmers Aquamaxx and Reef Octopus also I've heard good things about reef glass skimmers.
