I put a "T" in my return line and it feeds my fuge(12 gallon eclipse) which gravity feeds back in to the display.

I teed off the drain with a ball valve to control flow into fuge, I like the slow flow fuge idea, this way, the things living in the refugium (mushrooms, sponges, macros, worms and what not) get their food

thats what i think to0 about the flow and only reason im not running the fuge off the drain is i dont want to have to fit a filter sock in that chamber

I'm not using a filter sock since I'm OK with the food being available for plant and animal life form straight from the feeding time in the upper residence.
I like the fuge with all the funk; otherwise I would have gone a simple two chamber filtration tank, skimmer with filter sock and return.
