The Cy-294 is a wet dry filter and protein skimmers built in. it comes with the skimmer pumps. it provides for two return lines. you will need to purchase a return pump (external), an overflow HOB or drill tank. There is a bit more cost involved but the qualify is good and I have used this product for some years. personally I prefer the drilled tank vs the overflow. If you are not going to have internal overflows then HOB is the way to go. the Cy-294 will handle a total gph of 1200 + apprx. There is a filter chamber, and bulkheads for connection to pump for return.
