Excess water in that overflow line can go to the skimmer compartment. I think this would work to perfecton, in fact my current setup is like this.
I may run some tubing from the skimmer outlet over to the refugium and set it up on a spraybar. Or just dump it in there. That would help oxygenate the water in the refugium. Might be overkill. Thoughts? I would rather put the spraybar on the overflow line feeding the fuge and have the skimmer water flow into the center return section. There should plenty of bulk flow and oxygen without the skimmer feeding the fuge IMO |
