fuge for a 30g cube...

[brettmc]

I'm going to be starting up a 30g reef tank in around a month or so and I'm thinking about doing a HOB fuge. Wondering what all equipment would be needed on it exactly, and what I need to stock it with. Also if you have any opinions on size or brand. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

or should I even use one?

 

[laddy]

you probably won't need one, what do you plan of keeping?

Here's what I'm shooting for, a lot of it I know won't be in there until a ways down the road.
gorgonian
-xenia
-zoanthid
-mushrooms
-ricordea
-montipora
-pocillopora
-brush coral
-plate coral
-feather duster
-hermits, shrimps, snails
-clam
-clown fish and maybe a goby
-around 50 lbs of LR and around 3" LS
