Refugium Question

[jtcplumb]

I have a 125 gallon reef and fish display tank with a RS Eshopp sump in basement. I want to add a tank for refugium and would like some input on what to use and what do I need to do so. I am thinking a 55 or 75 gallon tank. Do I buy a reef ready tank or simple one and drill holes and put some bulk heads in it ? Do you need baffles in it or just open and add algae Any body have diagram on how it should look ? Do I need pump to pump what from sump to refugium or just put higher and gravity ??

I put my refugium above my display tank so it can gravity feed into,the display. That way and pods go straight to my display without getting chopped up in the pump. :)

Basically I have a pump in my sump that pumps up to the fuge.
I still need to get a bunch of different macro algae to put in there. Right now it's just a tank with live rock ;p
