I have have an extra 10 gallon I would like to make into a refugium. I would place above or below, looking for diagram or plans.

Here's my 10 gallon sump with a middle chamber for a mantis shrimp, could easily be a refugium,

btw, glass from an 8 X10 picture frame makes perfect baffles in a ten gallon, $.25 each at Goodwill :D.

Use the forward and back arrows, there are three or four pics of the sump in the sequence. Basically water comes in on the right, goes through an under/over set of baffles, hits the refugium, and goes past an over baffle to the return pump. Because of the drop from the second baffle there's no problem with circulation in the central area.

hth,
