I have a question about filtration. I know I could add a HOB skimmer down the road. If I get an AIO tank which is what I'm looking for I could also add an skimmer in there along with other filtration equipment.

If I'm unable to locate an AIO within my budget. Do I need to run a HOB mechanical filter if I'm running a dual media reactor with pump, or vice versa? It seems to me, and correct me if I'm wrong. They seem to be doing the same thing (if I add media to the HOB mechanical filter). Since there should already be enough water and surface movement with the wave maker powerheads, I feel like I could get away without the ugly HOB mechanical filter and run just the DMR with pump. Any thoughts?
