Ok. Since I'm reading into everything before I actually do a saltwater setup, I've read quite a bit about the benefits of a refugium and a sump. So far everyone has said ignore a trickle filter and just do a refugium. I'm definitely thinking about adding one. I have an old 30 gal freshwater tank. So my question is, can I partition my 30 gal tank into two parts, one that is a refugium, the other is a sump? Would it be advisable to have my overflow from the salt tank run into the refugium, then have an overflow from the refugium into the sump that cycles the water back into my salt tank. Does that make sense? Will I have problems with my sump running dry, or will there be enough water flow to keep everything running smooth?
