Quote:

A Sump is a place where equipment/filtration is placed such as a skimmer, heater and such. Also, it's a place where people can run carbon and place live rock (for extra biological filtration). Also, sumps help add water volume onto the tank. This is why they are a good idea for smaller nano tanks. Refugiums are a place where Macro Algaes can grow to help filter the water and where pods, worms, and other sandbed fauna can grow and reproduce without being in harms way of predators, hense the name "refugium". To learn more about refugiums click he http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/V.../refugium.html also, here's some information on how Sumps work: http://www.melevsreef.com/what_sump.html
