Hi Guys!
I am looking at modifying my new sump to accommodate my skimmer and also create a refugium. Since I've never had a tank with a refugium, I'd love to get your thoughts on if this will work. I have an extra sump of the same style for parts to borrow from if needed.
Here is a pic of the layout - not the correct measurements for my tank, but the design is the same. The tank is a Reefer 650 ~ 100 gallon tank.



The return with the auto top off on left is only 6 inches wide and current houses my pump. If I move the left most dividers to the right 3.5", I can fit my skimmer in their as well.

The large center area will be the refugium, so I think I need to add a divider of sort between the refugium and the filter socks on the right. I'm thinking just a piece of glass separating the filters so rock, mud and critters don't get in there is all I need.

Does this sound right or is my crazy idea just that? If anyone has any better ideas, I'm open to them.

Thank you for helping a newb out.
