Don’t think HOB enough for mixed reef. Go with sump system or at least a canister.

It is possible but it is very difficult...those able to have long term tanks with limited filtration probably are experts and know their tank and stuff very well. Won’t recommend to someone just starting out.

Honestly, I think it can be done if you got do religious weekly water changes. For nano tanks , i feel that it can be easily achieved but stability is the key for Long term success. Andy, the Seachem tidal is a great filter, just get the biggest size becos you have the option of putting more filtration media in and also have the ability of changing the flow rate that can suite your tank

IMO the HOB filter is not very important as it don't really do anything.

If u want to ensure nutrient export is good u need to add thing like polyfilter, chemicure, skimmer.

Else diligently water changes is the way to go.
