I designed my sump with a bypass style refugium and I have two drain boxes(one for each 1 1/2" drain). Each drain box will have filter media(metala) in the bottom compartment and a fine filter sock in the top compartment for cutting down on microbubbles. The skimmer is a re-circulating ASM G2 which wiil be piped back into the fuge with the gate valve and drain pipe. I agree that the pump will have a lot of flow but I'm hoping with appropriate valves and unions it will work quietly and efficiently. http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z.../refugium3.jpg
