Triton method or not

[dMiles]

I'm acquiring equipment for a new tank build. I'm having difficulty deciding on a sump/refugium. Help me decide between the triton method sump (refugium first) or the traditional sump(skimmer first) . Pros and cons

I think a lot of it depends on why you are running a refugium. Are you running it mainly for nutrient export or for microfauna production?

You make over $100,000 a year? Use Triton.....

I rest of us do WCs

I guess both. Is it possible to do both?

About 60,000. Didn't know triton method was so expensive. Planning to use Red Sea reef care program.

I have both and have noticed better water quality and coral response since doing the triton core 7 daily dosing.

This is the sump/refugium that I'm leaning toward.

I run refugium first and love it

I'm leaning that way too. What do you guys run in your refugium?
