Refugium How To?

[bkall4u]

I have a problem, I have a 65 gallon Uni-Aquarium it's acrylic and has the sump essentially built into the back of the tank. These are pretty common so I'm hopeing someone will know what they are about since I do not have a Digital camera. I have no idea on how I can add a refugium without having to have it ABOVE the tank. I would really like to have a 20 gallon under in the stand but cannot just put an additional overflow onto the back because the acrylic has a lip about 3/4 of an inch and the water drops down?!!?!? It has 80lbs of LS and I am going to purchase 50-80lbs of LR (can't decide) I want to start with a FOWLR but I know I will upgrade to reef when I can afford lighting.... any thoughts are greatly apperciated Thanks Everyone!

I'm familiar with the type. Can you fit a refugium right next to your aquarium? It would be ideally suited for this.

yes I can, there's room, how would I transfer water?

Setup two siphons. One goes from your display to the refugium and the other goes from the refugium to the built-in filtration system in back of your tank.
