You could also try to find a bakpak. They are reasonalby priced and do a decent job.

If you do your routine water changes and don't have too heavy a fish load you should be OK. I have a small acrylic box you can use as a refugium if you'd like then you can have some green in the tank also. Only one catch, I am in Cedar Park but if you'll take a light down to SA with you I'll give you the refugium for free.

A refugium is a refuge for micro and macro fauna, also tiny "bugs" pods. It keeps them safe from the rest of the tank and keeps a constant food supply going. The green is plant life, some are very interesting. You can also have reds and other colors, but the most common is caulerpa which most strains are green.
Cedar Park is on the north side of Austin. A good 2 hour drive from downtown SA.

You can hang it inside one corner, or you can get a different refugium for under the tank. Under the tank would require a lot more money because you'd need to drill/overflow box, and buy a return pump.

Just a small powerhead.
