Any thoughts on how to plumb a refugium to return line, without going through manifold?

[WGivens]

I am thinking through how I can modify my sump, so I can plumb a refugium to the return line without it going through a manifold with two reactors on it. Has anyone done this - have any example? Or what are some thoughts on how to do this? Trying to keep the pods alive to make it to the tank, dont Want them going through the reactors and skimmer. Any thoughts?

A clearer description of your current sump/refugium and plumbing would be helpful. This is a guess but as I picture what you have you have a refugium that flows into a chamber where your skimmer and return pump is which feeds a manifold to two reactors. I would add a second small return pump that pulls from your refugium bypassing the main return pump.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing with a second pump, but wanted to see if there was any other ways that might work with one pump.

I have a Redsea Reefer 250 v3 with a modification of the auto being the refugium - that drains into the return chamber. I am thinking how can I make a manifold, but not loose the refugium critters.
maybe it has to be the two pumps.
