This is killing me because I would like to use a trigger ruby elite sump but can't see how it would be effective.

Anyone notice that the flow of water coming from the refuge of this sump dumps into the same reservoir as the drain line where the socks sit.

So what doesn't make sense to me is if I were to use a small pump to feed me skimmer coming off this reservoir wouldn't the skimmer essentially skim out the refuge product?

Kinda pointless if you ask me.

Yes I could gravity feed the skimmer but that really is t what I want to do.

If the refuge exited into a return line chamber then there would be no issues

Anyone else notice this?
