Hello everybody, was hoping you guys could help me out with something that has been bugging me. I am trying to figure out how to put my new sump into my aquarium but not sure what to do. I currently have a wet dry filter with a protein skimmer. Water enters the filter through an overflow and i have a submersible pump that pumps the water back out. I have another pump in the filter that pumps water into the skimmer which dumps water back into the filter. So now i have about a 30 gal sump that i want to act as a refugium. So should i run the two of them together or just use the refugium? I am having a problem getting the skimmer pump and return pumps to all fit in the refugium. Any ideas let me know please. I am hesitant to take out the wetdry because i am not sure if the tank would be ok without it. If you have any question please let me know. Thank you ahead of time for your input.
