So I ordered the aquafuge through my LSF and the order is still in process and I could cancel it and just now I found this other aquafuge for half it's price, but I wanted to know your opinions on it first.
EcoSystem 40 Pro Series Hang on Back Wet/Dry Filter System Refugium with Bak-Pak Protein Skimmer. It sells for about $320 and I could get it for $180.
Is it better? I mean with the skimmer I would assume so, but what do you guys think? Should I get this one instead

Go with the protein skimmer. You'll be happier with that and your water will be more clear than just a fuge.
Plus its cheaper. Less money ftw

Yeah, I think I'm going to go with it now that I found out all that it comes with. It's brand new and it comes with all this:
Fuge tank
3.5 lbs of Miracle Mud
13W Power Compact Light Fixture
Rio 600 Pump
Return Jet
Skim Box
Sponge
U-tube
Modified CPR Bak-Pak Protein Skimmer
Definitely getting this instead!

Miracle Mud is basically fertilizer. The problem is that in aquaria it just leeches these organics into your tank which will fuel algae growth.
