Is it possible to have TOO large of a refugium?
Quick question; I have a 50g breeder with a 24" HOB fuge. I have the tank plumbed to another 50g refugium as well. Is it possible to have overkill with refugiums? Other than oxygen issues, is there anything else to worry about?

Overkill maybe but not to the point of detriment. But on second thought...added water volume could only be a good thing.
