I really want to put a refugium in my sump area, but I've got a space issue.
I've got a 425XL Reefer and I'm thinking of getting a baffle kit like the one in the picture below. The only issue is I've plumbed in a manifold along the back that has two reactors hovering inches above the water in the sump. Meaning I can't put my skimmer in the back because it's too tall, it will have to set up front.
Essentially my question is, looking at the picture below as an example could I swap the refugium area and the skimmer placement? Have my skimmer sitting in the front area of the baffle and stick the refugium in the back area.
Before I commit to this I want to ask people with experience, am I missing something that would cause this not to work as expected, or be inefficient in some way?
