Stacy, here is some advice given by Wamp at an earlier time regarding this subject.Now obviously, you would have the overflow lead to the refugium and then be pumped back up into the main tank, and that would keep the parameters and such in check, but as for getting the pods into the main tank, he said to get a very porous piece of LR and place it in the refugium for some time, and then put it into the main tank. IMO, that's really good advice, but I would take it one step further, and get two nice size pieces of very porous LR and switch them back and forth, so you are constantly supplying pods to your main tank. This is what I would do, as most pods are killed in the impeller of the PH. I'm not saying not to get a PH and such, as you need it to keep the water the same and provide filtered water to your refugium, instead of just keeping months-old unfiltered water in it. I'm not sure if I'm making any sense or not, and if not, I'll try to make some later, if needed.
