Depends on the amount of work you want to do. Both will work. If you need a new sump and have the cashola and like a big project then go for it. If you want to do less work and dont mind the look its a good option. There are a few you tube videos that might help you decide.

Hi. So do you already have a sump that doesn't have a refugium? If so you can add a remote refugium thats plumbed to your tank with a valve to adjust flow. If you have space. Problem with that is you might need a custom tank thats drilled for an overflow unless you use a simple bucket or rubbermaid tub, something thats easy to drill to provide a proper drain. A hang on fuge can be diy with an aqua clear 110 for a good pod fuge. Or there are many other options. Im sure someone who has much more experience than me will chime in. Hope this helped a bit. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I already have a sump but it does not have a refugium section. That’s why I was debating buying a new sump with Fuge section or a hob. I’m not crafty enough to build it to my existing sump, so I was going to buy something. Do the pods have a hard time getting back to dt from the sump

Not really. They will get pumped back in as long as there is nothing like floss to block them.
