LOL nice dj strips!

Spotted those eh? hahaha. I got 2 for the sump side and one for the water storage side.

I like it better on the right as well. You could also just feed the frag tank overflow into the fuge since that probably won't be much flow, it would simplify things a little and cut back on return pump demand, no filter sock though.

Yeah that would work well!! I think I'm going to do that instead. You think that Micro Bubbles would be an issue coming from the frag tank drain?

Shouldn't be any bubbles from a herbie. You could also move the overflow in the frag tank to the other side if you haven't drilled it yet.

In the first option, put a lid on the 2 refugium baffles. Drill a couple of holes in the lid. That should keep the water inside the refugium nice and calm. Water in the refugium would then be exchanged with the water in the sump by diffusion.
