Borneman makes the points more clear than I could. The main points are how relatively small areas are expected to effect large amounts of water and how rock might be better for pod production, if that is desired.

there are two concepts here--the use of a refugium for reducing phosphate and nitrates and the use of the refugium for a safe haven for growing pods and other inverts.
IMO the two are separate uses dictated by the flow through the refugium.
I prefer to use it for pod production so my flow is minimal through the refugium
