Back on the saddle again! (1 Viewer)

I bought a 30g cube from G-reef last week and I finally decided to get back on the hobby. Last reef I had was back when Ike hit and I'm finally trying it out again. I was told by him that there are newer technology that can make reef keeping easier. I just bought an OceanRevive Arctic t427 light with built in timer and I'm planning on building a 20g fuge on the bottom (19x15x10). I guess my question is, what would be the best setup that I can do for the refugium? How big should I do my mechanical filter or do I even need it? I want to maximize the fuge space so I can grow some copepods for a mandarin goby.

Planned stock:
Mandarin goby
2 maroon clown
1 anemone
some cardinal

Refugium:
cleaners
chaetomorpha
Crushed coral (substrate)

Skimmer:
Reef octopus HOB

What else am I missing to make it semi self sustaining?

Don't really have any pics since it is still a bare tank. I promised my wife that I will not start until beginning of December.

Rick, pretty much what these tanks are turning out to be. Atm, I have a 120 and 75g fw

So, i found this gem with my old sw setups, you guys think this would work on my 20x20x18 cube?

You're going to run out of room with that skimmer. Doing any fishing lately?
