i took this description off reefland....
"The easiest refugium setup for your situation would be, have the 10g refugium tank drilled for a 1" bulkhead a few inches down from the top. Have it drilled on one of the short sides. Then build a small platform that will raise it a couple of inches over your sump. Just high enough that the drilled hole is above the top of the sump.
Then plop a small powerhead (~100gph or less) into the sump and put the output of the powerhead into the refugium. Preferably on the far side of the refugium, away from the outlet. Plumb a short piece of pipe into the bulkhead in the refugium so that the output it placed where you want it in your sump, and you're done.
So essentially you will pump water from your sump into your refugium and that will overflow back into your sump through the drilled hole."
my sump is a 15gallon...could i do that..with like a 5gallon tank since a 10gallon won't fit into my stand? it's better than going with the cpr aquafuge right?
