Good point Phil.

i agree a larger sump would be good. do you guys think itd be better to forgo the refugium alltogether for now, or just try to divy up the little bit of space thats available between refugium, intake, and exhaust?
I would go with the refugium now if you have the resources so that it can mature with the main system and for the resons Phil has outlined. I do not have a refugium at this time. However, I regret not starting with one. Now I have a wet/dry filter that I am tring to convert.
