Wet/Dry sump made into refugium??

Hello fellow reefers I have an acrylic 15 gallon wet/dry sump I am wanting to change into strictly a refugium for my 125 drilled gallon tank. I have a fairly large RIO return pump and custom flow intakes for parts. So any pics or pointers will be deeply apreciated! Thanks, Ken

I did something very similar, set a 15gal acrylic wet/dry sump up as a remote DSB and refugium/mangrove filter. Drain flow from the tank is split, with part flowing through the fuge into the sump, the rest into the skimer chamber of the sump. Initially I used a separate return pump to lift water up to the fuge, then overflow it back to the sump, but after another flood from a broken siphon I redesigned the system to be completely gravity driven. Will post some pics later in the weekend when I finish moving everything around (upgrading the display).
