How muck filtration

[Larry64]

I have a fish only tank with a very small snowflake eel, about the size of a pencil, a two inch bursa trigger, and a saddle back puffer. It’s not drilled and I’m running a 407. Do I need more filtering for all the excess food and waste? Lists of rock and caves. It’s a wide brim take, any suggestions on a HOB protein skimmer?

That is the fluval canister right? Its a good unit to clear particles from the water and you can run activated carbon, but it doesn't actually "export" nutrients out of your system, such as a skimmer would. A protein skimmer and canister combo IMO is a fine idea. Reef Octopus classic 1000 hob is the king of hob skimmers, another great one I used for many years is the Aquamaxx 1.5 hob skimmer
