usually low. you only want about 250-500 gph going through your refugium (this also depends on how large your system is though). the water has to have contact time with all of your algae and media to perform effectively. if the water is just washing through everything fast, you arent going to have efficient use of the refugium.

flow in fuge is an arguable topic and really depends on how the fuge is set up. If your going DSB you want high flow as to keep particles in suspension as long as possible, chaeto also prefers high enough flow to roll it around.
If your after critters and doing some other method such as berlin or using caulerpa lower flow does much better. If your a nutcase like me, you run a remote DSB with a TEE on the return pump to recirc a lot of the flow back into the DSB itself to increase flow through that area without having to go high flow in your separage fuge section.
