I need some opinions or ideas everyone. I had been thinking of getting another sump or skimmer, so I could be able to have a refugium. I have had the mind set of keeping everything wet in or over my sump, with that being said how do you guys feel about external skimmers? I an in the initial stage of thinking but like the ro regal external 200 or 250. The external would allow me to utilize the entire skimmer section as a refugium, a smaller skimmer would allow me to use portioned side of the skimmer for a refugium. Please give me your ideas. Thanks


 
I've often contemplated an external skimmer for the same reasons. I have not went that way yet because I have the regal 200 space saver and I like it so much I really don't want to change. I like the idea of being able the control both the water and air but I'm also of the mind set that I'm opening myself up to another possible leak. (my vertex calcium reactor now lives in my sump due to the impeccable engineering behind the recirc pump fitting.)
