I’ve searched and searched but can’t really find a definitive answer on my question. I’m building a sump out of a 30g long tank. I had planned to have the protein skimmer right after the filter socks and then the refugium. However, I came across the triton method and they say refugium first and no filter socks. My original idea was to have the skimmer in front because it will give ample time for micro bubbles to clear before the return pump. Another concern is any pods that make it out of the fuge will be sucked into the skimmer.
Does anyone know why refugium is first with the triton method? Anyone doing triton with skimmer first? And what is the point of no filter socks? I understand it’s to feed the macro algea but seems like you’d still want to remove most decaying matter that you could
