I have what I would call a passive filtration. There are two overflows leading to the rear chambers. As the water leaves the display it passes over filter pads before either entering the either the skimmer or going directly into the refugium. Destination depends on which overflow the water goes through.

First step is to get the detritus is suspension. I may need to do more mods on the filtration.
