I'm attempting to design a refugium and was wondering if any are a good idea. I’m new to the sport and haven’t purchased anything yet.

I imagined that I would want to maximize the fuge size so I used a lot of baffles to reduce bubbles however they are at a 45 degree angle. I figure if I have the increased number of them it would help for the decrease in total length.

I was also wondering if it would be a better idea to have the return and inlet on opposite sides to increase the flow in the fuge.

Anyone use the Urchin Pro? I like the footprint of the unit alot and remembering hearing people say that AquaC's are good skimmers.
