Sump Question

Is it best to T off of Return line or is it better to T off of Overflow line for refugium water?

I would rather have the T on the return line. The last thing you would want is the T getting blocked on the overflow.

Yeah that was my thoughts as well plus then you theoretically get clean water going to the fuge as well.
