In-sump Refuge - Aquarium Advice

mattmku · 04-26-2006, 09:56 PM

I'm designing a DIY sump but want to incorporate a Refugium. From what I understand the rate of flow through a refugium must be slow. What is the best way to restrict flow through a refugium inside a sump?

A baffle and a valve to control the amount of flow.
