I currently have an 80 gallon bow front tank with a 15 gallon sump. The sump consits of two different size filters then the water flows over a big biowheel. I also have a Turbofloator 1000 protien skimmer in the sump. After the water is treated it is then returned to the tank. I currently have a few fish, a couple of anenomees, a fungia coral, a brain coral, a small leather coral, 2 shrimps, and some misc. crabs and snails. I plan on adding more soft corals and at some point adding some stony corals.
Now what I was wondering is if I bought or built a 30 gallon refugium could I replace my sump with it. I don't know if I really understand rufugiums, but I think that they are just a natural way to treat the water. I might be wrong and any clarification is helpful. I also wanted to know if I replaced my sump with a refugium would I still need a protien skimmer or would it just be the refugium. I appreciate any help you can give me.
