Refugium is drilled now and in place, fed by a tiny pump from the raw tank water chamber and through a ball valve for control. It feeds the return area via gravity through a 1.5" line. A ball valve here can isolate the refugium and DSB.
The closed loop is fed by a 1.5" empty foot valve and through a ReeFlo Barracuda pump. The manifold is a spa part with 8 .5" outputs. Each output is plumbed separately and through a union and ball valve. It really gets the water moving.
If things run smooth for a few days I will empty it and move it from the garage to the basement.
I have the option of using a typical stand (viewable 3 sides) or built in to the wall (viewable 1 side). Any suggestions???
