If you have the time and "some" money for a project...why not make the overflow that Covey posted. And I suppose you do need some baffles to trap microbubbles before it return to you MT. Since your purpose is only a refugium, I don't think you really need a strong pump either...IMO, 1x - 2x GPH of your tank's size should be ok.
What do you think?
