Greetings! There are several ways to plumb a refugium. Some people have it
under the tank. This way, water is gravity fed from the tank to the refugium
and pumped back to the tank....just like a sump. Another way is to place the
refugium above the sump and allow refugium water to gravity feed the refugium
and gravity feed back to the sump. Another method is to place the refugium
above the tank and gravity feed water back to the tank...avoiding the sump
all together. Another method is to pump water from the tank and then gravity
feed it back to the sump. Otherwise you can have even water levels in the
refugium and tank and then siphon or pump water back and forth. Mine is
set-up above the sump. I use a small powerhead to pump water from the tank to
the refugium. It then flows by gravity to the sump where it is returned to
the tank. Amphipods and baby strombus snails seem to survive the skimmer, CR,
and return pumps because I find them alive (before they are eaten) in the
display tank. Many people discourage running refugium return water through
power heads/ pumps as it can damage/kill the very things you are trying to
propagate....
