External skimmer for 525XL... good idea?

[PegasisR]

Would it be a good idea to run an external skimmer on a 525XL and in general? Reason being is because i want to run the middle skimmer section as a refugium since a larger size would be better?

Don't see why not. Can be done if you have the space for it.
