Hi all! I'm getting a Waterbox Marine X 60.2 delivered soon, wondering if anyone can comment on my sump plans. I've outlined what I plan to take out and resize, is it ok to have a fleece roller and protein skimmer in the same chamber? Was going to add a piece of glass to create a refugium as well. Stocking will be on the heavier side.

Sump Equipment:
- Syncra SDC 3.0 WiFi Controllable Pump (260-800 GPH)
- ReefMat 250 Fleece Roller Filter (open to suggestions)
- Bubble Magus Z-8 Space Saving Protein Skimmer (open to suggestions)
- Refugium light?

Stocking (plan - open to ideas)
- Mandarin
- Two clownfish
- Many invertebrates
- Goby
- midas blenny

Or no protein skimmer and just a fleece roller to start?
