Anyone have an AquaFuge Pro Refugium

I'm trying to find someone who has one of these refugiums. I want to use it on a 125 gal reef tank. Wondering if one would work, recommended for 90gal, or if I would use two since I will have 2 overflows. Also not sure for other filtration. The company tells you to not have this be your only filtration. Should I run a tide pool sump off one overflow and a Aquafuge pro refugium off the other one? Thanks

I have one of CPR's Aquafuge pro's. It is the only thing I run. It has a 3 inch sand bed with claurapa in it along with some bio-balls in the chamber after the skimmer. I dont use a wet dry filter. Never needed it. I have a 90 gallon with one overflow. They recommend running about 300gph through it so the longer it stays in the fuge the better. You can run 2 over flows but one is preferred. Just make sure the return pump can pump what the 2 overflows can put through. I used ball valves on mine to slow things down on the overflow side so I can regulate water coming in and the noise. My over flow is a CPR cs50(300gph).
