Thanks. I was thinking alot about it and different people say different things. Some say have the protien skimmer first then the refugium then the return and others say have the ref and skimmer on opposite sides of the return pump with a split pvc pipe sending water to both sides from the display tank. I think I have an idea to feed water to the skimmer then have it drain in two dirrections. It will drain half to the ref and half to a smaller wet/dry then from both of those it will drain to the return pump where the top-off float will be. I will have a light on it for the micro algae.

I am doing FOWLR now but I do want to do anemones and coral later so thats why I am looking into the ref/sump. Plus I love to build stuff and make it work so this seemed like a great benificial project. Let me get some drawings up and then let me know what you think.
