The question is should I ditch the refugium and convert it to a frag tank?

FYI - 200 gallon main tank with 250 lbs of rock and 150 lbs of sand.
For such a big tank, I don't think ditching the sump would be a good idea. Sumps, after all, are sumps and only a tank without one will understand the value of it.

If you feel like you don't need that big of a refugium you have right now, you might want to make a part of the refugium as frag tank without totally eliminating it. Just my 0.05 (since 0.02 are no longer available in market in terms of coin )
