That sounds great Otty, let me run an idea by you. Could I bring the water from the tank and into a small chamber of LR pieces and then into the skimmer/heater chamber, then into the return chamber. Could I T off the return line and into the the refug thru a ball valve to limit the flow @ 5.5 lph ( I have a 55 gal.) and the water should travel thru the refug and dump back into the return chamber. The refug will be at least 5.5 gal. or six. My main tank will be a 55 gal. My thinking is I would get cleaner water going into the refug if the water feeding the refug came out of the return line instead of T'ing off the inlet line because the water has already traveled thru the LR bed and the skimmer before it gets to the refug. How does this sound?? Thanks Wyatte
