I would just do a refugium in the long run you will probly want to switch to one anyway.

If it's a reef tank, go build a sump/refugium. Youtube has a lot of videos that are very help help.

Do want a sump for things like skimmer heaters etc., or are you trying to add extra filtration to an existing system? What size and type of tank is this for?
