Refugium - Yes or No?

Thought I would stir up a lil' debate with in the community.

What's the overall thought - Are there some good tanks out there without a refugium?

How much does a 12x18" space dedicated to a refugium really help in say a 130g tank?

You don't need a fuge.
I'm all about filtering as naturally as possible and i think they are fun, so I run one.
Even if you just had a ball of chaeto in it, that could significantly reduce your nutrient levels.
