I was just wondering what the right size of a refugium would be for a 125 gallon aquarium

I have a 125 gallon tank with a Refugium, I used a 40 gallon for the ref. The water line started about 3/4 full but I have since lowered it some to try and get more flow. I also increased the sand bed from about 1.5 inches to 5-6 inches. I am having a problem with nitrates at the moment and thought the DSB would help.

I run a 20 gallon refuge on my 210 and it works wonderfully.

There are no cons to a refugium.
A refugium can:
-remove nitrates/phosphates/silicates
-offer a safe place for pods to reproduce
-be a predator-free enviroment for slow-eating and slow-moving fish and inverts

There are no cons as to what it does to your tank. However, do you have room for a sump/refugium in your stand, or wherever you chooes to put it? Can you afford it? Is your tank drilled, and if not, do you want to deal with the hassle and expense of an external overflow? Keep in mind I'm just playing devil's advocate, but there's some food for thought for ya.
