Which tang?

I would personally run a separate fuge. In all but the largest sumps, the fuge is too small to be a great deal of benefit unless you just want to grow chaeto and nothing else.
I agree with this. I heard this long ago, when I had my 75 gallon. I added a 30 gallon DIY refugium behind the stand (stocked it with caulerpa - lighted 24-7 with standard grow light tubes) and the tank really flourished after about six months of that being online.
 
It was hard to get pictures of since it was in a narrow space behind the tank, but this is the best I have of the remote refugium after it had matured.

Finally sitting down after a really busy day. Fish and coral order from LA arrived this morning. It was challenging trying to acclimate fish and dip corals between online meetings . Purple fire fish was doa. :( Damsels and royal gramma seem to be healthy and doing ok in observation tank. I have no idea what corals I got in my divers-den 3-pack.
