TruVu Aquasystem Set-Up

[phoenix3717]

So I got a TruVu Aquasystem from a friend. It has 3 total chambers, first chamber is overflow from the tank, second chamber is overflow from the first. The second then flows underneath into the last chamber which pumps back into the tank (see attached). I'm thinkin of adding a piece of plastic to make the center a refugium and possibly drilling holes from the first to second chamber so water can flow through instead of simply overflowing into the second chamber. I've been keeping fish for years but this will be my first foray into reef tanks. Do you guys see any flow issues or have any suggestions? Anything would be greatly appreciated...mahalo.

Not sure why you would want to drill the holes, but adding the additonal divider is a good idea...

just so that more water moves from the bottom of the first chamber into the second...otherwise the water at the bottom of the first chamber might not have enough circulation? that's why i'm here...trying to do research and figure out the best thing to do.

Rather than that do another seperator with a gap at the bottom...
