I just set up a 20gal tall tank that I made into a sump / refugium for my 50gal tank. My main question is:

I have an area between the "refug part" and the return pump that I have a sponge in. Is this bad? This area is where I plan to keep carbon.

Tips? Suggestions?
 
If you are using the refugium as a place to produce pods to feed your main tank a sponge may prevent those critters from being passed back into the tank. Another concern may be clogging so it would need to be cleaned often.
