Need some advice on adding a refugium to my sump

[New2Reefs]

Hi there everyone,

I currently have a Berlin-style sump that I'd like to add a refugium to. I plan on running my H&S A150 protein skimmer externally to it, along with an external system pump (haven't decided on that one yet). I've been looking at refugiums online and I like the look of the EcoSystem Reefugium. There are two sizes: one is 36"L x 8"W x 8"H rated up to a 300-gal tank, and the other is 24"L x 8"W x 8"H, rated up to a 120-gal tank. My tank is a 150-gal high: 48"L x 24"W x 30"H. Do you think I could use the smaller 24"L refugium for my tank, even though it is rated for a 120-gal? With my other equipment I think the smaller one would fit better in the cabinet, since I have limited space in there. I'm even thinking of using a different sump that already incorporates a refugium--the one I have now wasn't that expensive. What do you guys think? Any ideas and advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Sure it would be beneficial for your system, any sized refugium would be.
