Project Natural is filtered by a Finnex HOB Refugium using a Hydor Pico Evo-Mag 180 GPH pump for filtration and Hydor Koralia Nano 240 GPH for circulation.  Investment in this project is very minimal.  I plan to use cheato algae as a source of filtration as well as a 50 watt Cobalt Neo-Therm for heating in the refugium.  Sand will be very minimal, and live rock will be borrowed from other projects.  The most expensive part involved is the Kessil A80 Tuna Blue LED, which was borrowed from Project Pico, retailing for $150 new w/ Kessil arm on Amazon.  This is a high end Nano light, and there are much cheaper options out there.
