That's an expensive eventual door stop. I'd suggest not going that route.

YMMV

For about half that price you could get an Aqua C hang on skimmer that would suit you much better. Better yet drill the tank and add a sump and return pump. You would still have money left to put towards a skimmer!

+1 to this. And I agree that thing is just an expensive door stop. Petco doesn't know saltwater from what I have hear dot start with.

Sump

Buy a sump and put live rock in it is your best bet. It will be significantly cheaper. You could find one on here in the selling forms.
