29 gallon tank

If you were to set up a 29 gallon fowlr tank, what should you get for filtration if you can not use a sump. I was told to look at the CPR backpak. Anyone use this or have any other suggestions it would be appreciated thank you

The BakPaks are okay, IME. I'm experimenting with a CoraLife SuperSkimmer, which might be worth considering, too.

If you get plenty of live rock, it will be your biological filtration. I have a 29G QT tank and keep a small power filter or canister filter on the tank all the time for chemical filtration. During water changes I use filter floss or some other mechanical means in the filter to help pull junk out.
