I have a 10 gallon tank that I want to turn into a refugium and wondering what all does it consist of? I have a skimmer and think that's one part but what sections are in it and what supplies to make one?
 
I believe you mean sump. Refugium is what we use to grow macro algae in outside of the display. There's really not much room in a 10 gallon other than for the skimmer, return pump and heater.
 
I must be talking about the sump my bad. Ok so say I get a bigger tank for it like a 20 gallon. What do I need to put into it to build a sump? Also does this replace having a stand alone filter? I have a fluval 305 and a skimmer but have heard the sump system works better? I'm gathering all my stuff to setup my tank and would rather start it out right then wrong. Thanks
