It is pretty much a safe haven for animals that normally would be picked on/attacked in your main set up. It gives you the opportunity to add animals that are helpful to your set up without the risk of fish eating them all in one day! Also lets you add plants that a herbivore fish would rip apart, helping you reduce nitrates/phosphates in your main system!
Enjoy@once!

Yes pretty much. Some people set their refugium INSIDE their actual tank.. but still its a seperate tank.

Example.. You have your 50 gallon main tank.. you have a 10 gallon tank UNDER the main tank equipped with sand/plants/a rock or two with a tube letting water from your main setup enter and exit into it... thats your refugium
