Refugium and skimmer

[Isaac Swanagan]

Hello,
I currently own a ES Hopps sump and it is up and running. The problem is I want to start a refugium and have a skimmer but my sump isn’t set up in the best way for it, as you’ll see. Any ideas?

Scrubber or remote refugium, those are what you have to work with

External skimmer could work.

Oh yeah, that's funny I forgot to mention that, considering I have one

Thanks! I was thinking about that. Where would I place the pump under the filter socks or the spot behind it?

The pump for what the external skimmer? A lot of them have the pump built on them, they just hang off the side.
