A refugium can be very helpful. It can give you more water volume, give you a place for pods to grow and equipment like skimmers, heaters and such and finally a place for macro algae to take up excess nutrients. O yeah, and a place to put renegade animals if necessary. With a HOB overflow box you can even get water to your sump without emptying the tank to drill it. I'm glad I have a sump/fuge.
