    Elos Midi Sump/Refugium

    So I want to use part of my Elos sump as a refugium, I plan on using the service unit in the sump as a refugium. My question is how do I get the water in the service unit to carry over to the main sump and does the water coming from the service unit have to flow at a particular rate?
