Help! Need info and tips about keeping these fish!

a refugium is either a section in a sump or a hang on the back type that usually contains a deep sand bed, live rock rubble and macro algae..The live rock and sand bed act as additional filtration for the display tank and the macro algae is there to out-compete any algae in the display tank for nitrates and phosphates which keep algae in the display tank ( hopefully ) near nothing...
Refugium ( fuge ) is not a "got to have" thing, its just an added bonus to the system and helps out loads in tank maintenance if your system is a reef...

yes, everything needs current, of varying levels in a marine tank..how much will depend on the type of nem that you get after about a year of the tank maturing some what....

probablt not, i would imagine your gonna need more water movement in the tank..cant really answer properly till you have the tank and everything together...

German Man is correct. I whould strongly suggest ( even if a cheap one) a protine skimmer and definatly a power head. From what I understand , not to discurage you, have a lot of reading to do. This is a beautiful site for this. Before posting make sure it is an unaswered question as well 
and maybe start a new thread thsi one is getting kinda long (i know ur proud of it...lol) but it gets hard to read it all for a new poster.
