I am preparing this weekend to set up my sump for Triton method, and am looking at 10-15x flow through the sump. Is there any reason not to use the drain compartment as my refugium?
I am using a 25 gallon tall, and only have room to put the skimmer in the drain section, [drain/skimmer - refugium - return] or to put the refugium in the drain section [drain/refugium - skimmer - return]
Or I could do something like
Drain/refugium - return - skimmer [with a T off of the return to the skimmer compartment?
Drain/skimmer - return - refugium [same as above]
Is 10-15x flow going to be too much flow going through the refugium for the algae to be able to utilize the nutrients?
Thanks for your input!!
