How are you planning on getting water flow through the bio-balls and GFO?

I think maybe there's just a line there for the tray that will hold the filter Floss or whatever he is putting in there.

If he's running bags for the carbon and GFO, I suppose that could work. Setting Bio-balls in a tray will probably clog quite fast though with all the detritus discharging directly into them.

Depends. I personally don't like using bioballs.

How much flow do you plan to run through it? You may want to incorporate some form of a bubble trap after refugium before return to prevent micro bubbles from any cascading water into the return section. Nice looking design though. I like it. And I agree with no bio balls. Just rock rubble should suffice for bio filter.
