Default Filter or Refugium or both?

Just what the title says.....For my 55gal(slowly going reef)

Explain your choice, please. That, I think, will not only help me, but a lot of others, either new to reefing or in the same situation as I am.

I found that when I feed the few coral I do have, my fish suffer. I really would like to feed them(fish) everyday (small amount of flakes alternated with OraGlo), cause in nature fish are always eating something) When I feed my corals it pollutes my tank. I do not feed as per instructions(less), since I only have 6 zoa's, 4(splitting) ricordia, a finger leather and a flower anemone. It really reeks havoc on my tank. I've got plenty of snails and I use a Via Aqua Poly reactor with Cuprisorb and PhosBan in it. Currently, I have the ole Emperor 400 Bio Wheel Filter, which doesn't cut it. I need more filtration. I have to rinse the filters every few days and I use double filters on each side. What's your advice?

Sorry for this being long, but I wanted you all to understand my thinking....(twisted as it may be )

p.s. Yes, I understand also that feeding the fish once a day adds to the problem.....that's why I'm asking And..... Dilution is the Solution to the Pollution....... I chant that now lol
