I am considering adding a big, powerful Reef Octopus to my 180 mixed reef that has no sump. I was looking at the recirculating Skimmers and it occurred to me to just use a canister filter intake, perhaps with a sponge on it to prevent large particulate matter entering the system, feeding down onto the floor with an in-line pump externally drawing that water and then pushing it up to the skimmer which would be in a walk in closet, elevated higher than the aquarium, then just let that gravity feed back into the tank.
Considering the Regal 250 EXT and the VarioS 4 pump as the inline external workhorse for it.
Would this work?
