Hello,
I currently own a ES Hopps sump and it is up and running. The problem is I want to start a refugium and have a skimmer but my sump isn’t set up in the best way for it, as you’ll see. Any ideas?

Scrubber or remote refugium, those are what you have to work with :)

Thanks! I was thinking about that. Where would I place the pump under the filter socks or the spot behind it?

The pump for what the external skimmer? A lot of them have the pump built on them, they just hang off the side.
