refugium w/external return

bongobrian · 03-06-2002, 01:02 PM

Just a quickie- I am getting ready to set up a larger refugium tank, the tank is pre-drilled for an external return pump. Are there any advantages to having an external return pump as opposed to an internal? I didn't realize when I ordered this set-up that it was going to be pre-drilled. My original plan was to have an internal return pump. What are the advantages and disadvantages? thanks guys.

One difference is less heat transfer to the water...
