As we know, not all tanks/systems created equal. My water circulation, 1,600 gallons per hour +-, keeps the Dissolved Organic Componds suspended in the water and mitigates the fact the my prefilter is only skimmimg the top inch. My skimmer resides in my sump and the skimmate is is no different there than it was when my skimmer was in my display tank.

The skimmed water flows through my refgium wher he macro algeas scrub it of nitrates and phosphates befor bein pumped back to the display tank.

My water quality has improved since I set up my sump/refugium in the configuration I just described.
