refugium

[seabass]

instead of using a separate tank to build a algai refugium, can t I do it in my sump, i have space under my bioballs? this off course is all in one tank, ?

You can do it in one setup, but remember that the refug needs slow moving water. I would tee off your line into the sump and put a ball valve to adjust the water in the refug side.
Room under your bioballs? don't quite follow you. Macro algea needs light, it wont grow under the balls. I would ditch the ball anyway. My .02
