I have completed the project to modify the wet/dry filter into a refugium. I cut 2 pieces of acryllin in order to create 2 additional bafflles. Then, I added 40 kbs of live sand and some live rock rubble to the refugium side, removed the drip tray and ran a piece of pvc with a filter sock. Finally, I topped it off with cheatomorpha algae and some basic lighting.

Future concerns will be to add some pods and reduce the flow as much as possible without affecting the skimmers functions. The same pump feeds both the inlet and the skimmer. So, I will keep this problem in mind for future designs.
