Too keep your options open, I suggest T'ing off the overflow and using a valve to control the flow through the Refugium. This will allow you to control the flow with absolute certainty.

Ha, Ha. I'm the biggest spaz when it comes to building things. I just followed the instructions on Melev's Reef website http://www.melevsreef.com/
The only thing I did differently (other than twisting the design) was I went to a glass shop to have my acrylic cut (which is the hardest part of the entire build). Just make sure you tell them to cut the acrylic with a saw and not score it with a knife.

Seriously if I can do it, anyone can
