Hi,
I am getting ready to set up my first reef tank (first SW). I have a megaflow 3 sump and a Nautilus TE skimmer. My question is, I would like to take the sump, and instead of using the bioballs and media, I would like to make that compartment a fuge. Can a refugium function correctly and provide what it is supposed to do, before the skimmer? Or is placing the skimmer after what the fuge is creating, kind of defeating the purpose. Thanks for your help.
