Hi All, thanks for the help ,can I ask some more questions.
I got this diagram of a sump,refigum set up from RC will it work?
If you look at my last post (more questions)PC was telling me about micro bubbles and I am still trying to figure out the best way to go.
If you need more pics let me know Phil

I like the layout but personally i don't like the idea of having a pump sucking on the overflow tube. The three baffles from the skimmer area to refugium might cut down on microbubbles so thats a plus. Other than that i think its cool

can you look at more questions 1

yea no problem. i just dont like the idea. I mean if you think about it it would be ok but if you are pushing 300gph threw your return you will have around 300gph going into your overflow. well if you have 300gph+ pump hooked up to the overflow tube ( and most skimmers work with ( i think ) 500gph or more you will be sucking the overflow dry. but thats just what i think off the top of my head lol

i agree with wes, the diagram looks good except the skimmer pump, the overflow should be free flowing, not "pumped" it might work fine, but i dont think would try it
