What are you planning on keeping in the refugium? If you are going to grow
caluerpa in their (highly recommended if you are going to keep a DSB) then
you will need to light it. You will also not want too high a flow through
it, as you want your caluerpa to be able to grow quickly and easily. If you
plan is just to add some LR for an area for "reef bugs" to grow, then just
about any where in your system will work.
IMO
