sump/refug

just got a 125 gallon from a friend starting to set up

How big of sump/refug should I go?

right now i have a wet dry with about half the bioballs running my 55
I'm converting to the 125.
Can I use the wet dry and then a refuge seperatly? or how should I set this new tank up?
Any and all help will be MUCH Appreciated

just doing FOWLR

You can take a look here to see if this helps:

You can use the "wetdry" and a seperate refugium. You'd need seperate overflows, of course, to do that. Even if it's FOWLR, I'd suggest you run a good quality protein skimmer.
