Is the tank divider the best thing to use for the scrubber?

hey guys, I'm new to the forum. I've been researching SWT's for about three weeks now and I plan on building a 50 gallon reef tank. I read through most of the thread and this seems to be a really interesting. I just need you guys to clarify one thing: Is it the ONLY filtration I need because if...
