Skimmer in Refugium?

Khai · 05/08/2006, 05:05 PM

I just recently picked up a new Tunze Skimmer, but the footprint is too large to fit into the first compartment of my sump when I added the sump kit extension...

Is there any problems associated with using a skimmer in a refugium? The waterflow into the skimmer is somewhat filtered, so I don't expect it to kill a ton of life...

Help please
