Someone correct me if I am wrong but I don't think that the refugium will "add" anything that the skimmer could remove. The refugium will allow a place for macro algaes to grow and will use any excessive nutrients within your system to allow it to grow and will out compete nuissance algaes for these elements causing their demise. The fuge will also give you a "sheltered" place a to increase your copepod population. I don't think skimmer placement should matter too much for what you mentioned. But again... I'm new, what do I know.
