Here is my situation .. I have no sump and just sold my CPR Bak-Pak which I used to run a little carbon (in a micron bag) and to house my heater (didn't like it hanging in the tank).

In lieu of it, I bought a Lifereef skimmer (the hang-on model) and there is no way for me to use it like I did the CPR to run carbon and house the heater and all, which brings me to my question.

Do any of you have any reccomendations as to what I can do to run some carbon, etc. without adding a sump. Thought of a Magnum filter. Any other suggestions????
