Im starting up a reef aquarium and I have built a refugium for it. But lately I have been wondering if I built it right. Its a 20gal long that has a 5 inch space for the water to flow into it. then over a foot of sand, LR, and other. The last section is for my pumps. Should i knock all the walls down and have one big system and mount my pump on the wall of the glass?
 
I prefer keeping the pumps out of the fuge--the pumps will suck up and slice many of your macro inverts (pods and stars).
 
see i like the pump into and flow out of but I custom built the stand out of very thick angle iron and cant just redo it. The tank is full of water and already in the house. I might be able to rig something up, but I doubt it.
