This is the return flow from the Display tank Overflow box. Its just the hose running into an old trickle filter hanging on the side of the 20g refugium. I wrapped a sponge around the base of the hose inside the trickle filter to reduce the slash from water output gushes.

Mr Hermit is very happy to get out of the aggressive display tank where his 11 brothers were lunch for the trigger family.. He thought his days were numbered.

Looks good!
How much did your sump setup cost you?
What kind of protein skimmer you got there, and is it working?
Sorry, just a few questions!

Looks like a good setup to me. Hope you tested power out and power return to make sure there were no floods.
I also added crushed oyster shells to my sump filter box. Seems to have really helped the calcium level. But then your calcium level is already fine.

Now how does the water from the overflow in the main tank get deposited into the refugium?
