I have had reef tank for 6 year 6X Turn over is good.

What is the purpose of the refuge? Nitrate reduction or pod production?

As you are setting thing up just make sure you have enough room to vacuum out the skimmer and return section . Diatoms collect there and it's pain to clean if you don't have enough space.

Post some pics

In my refuge I have gorgonians, seahorses, a box fish, lots of LR Rubble, Macro Algae, some frags.. It has a very nice, slow movement.. It's purpose is just filtration & growing of cocapods <- don't mind my spelling.

As already stated, 6ish gph is a magic #, but that's based on info I've only read here in the past. Having enough flow to feed your skimmer is the point, without overdoing it

Unless I missed it, what I haven't seen mentioned yet is GPH in the DT, and this will depend on what coral critters you plan on keeping
May be a subject for a new post ...
