My first refugium went with this concept and I've never done anything else. In my opinion one of the main reasons to have one is to get live food back in the tank for your corals. If you're killing 75% or more of the critters coming out of it then you're dramatically reducing its effectiveness.

I was amazed at how much better my corals grew after I added my first refugium.

My main issue with this one is that since it's in a closet I need to figure out a way to support the weight - can the top shelf support a few hundred pounds? The other bummer is that due to the positioning of the closet, the output is going to be very close to one of the overflows, though I suppose I could plumb for a little bit along the back of the tank before dropping it in.
