I have a refugium now and want to add a wet dry sump to it. The refugium is up and running and will be on the bottom. I want to put the sump above it. I would like to do all the filtering in the sump area, and leave the fuge to do its job. How do I set up all the plumbing? The return will be in the last section of the fuge.
 
Plumb your tank overflow to the sump, drop a line from the sump to the fuge (baffled of course, so you don't drain your sump), then return from fuge to tank (just like you said)

Is that what you want to know? And what do you mean by a "wet dry sump", exactly?
 
Yes that hiw how I want it set up, But I would like to see some pics of how others have done it. Woz I should have clarified what I was tlking about. I have an Americle SR200 wet/dry filter, but I'm not using it for that just a sump and some where to put my sump. I'm not using Tho bio balls in the filter. Does any one have any pics and suggestions? Thanks in advance
