I was going to say that Jeff @ Lifereef makes all of his refugiums separate. How do you like the lifereef skimmer? Is it as good as he claims? He'd building my gear this November.
I am still cycling and have nothing to skim yet

I love my dual sump system. I have a 125 gallon tank. I have a Simplicity 30 gallon sump on the left side - the filter sock was replaced with a roller mat, the refugium section is set to run very slow so it acts as a settling tank, then it goes to my return pump - my dosers are running into this section. My right sump is a DIY from a 29 gallon long. It has the return coming down into a 2 gallon tank which is full of live rock. The rest of the tank is dedicated to my DIY algae scrubber and the return pump. The 2 sides are connected with a water bridge. The layout is slightly different - these pictures are pre-roller mat. The plastic basket is sitting on the cover for the filter sock - that is gone now and replaced with the roller mat in this section. The light for the algae scrubber is now also properly mounted above the scrubber and the bridge has been lifted onto hooks so it's not sitting on the bottom of sumps. Each sump has a return from the tank coming down into it and a return pump back to the tank. The bridge maintains equal water level in both sumps.
