refugium that gravity feeds into display

Does anyone have one?

I was thinking about doing one with a 10g next to the right in the cabinet next to my display, but need some ideas.

I'm concerned with micro bubbles, and also if a 10G will really do much for a 125g display. I currently have a 38G sump that serves as sump/fuge in the stand, but I think I want more. I haven't got a whole lot of space for a large tank, and I have a couple 10G's sitting around.

Any help is appreciated!

I have seen some, but need to find pics. The benefit is that the pods that grow in the fuge do not get beat up by the return pump. I beleve the one I have seen was running a mj1200 to pump from the tank into the fuge.

Originally my system contained 2 tanks draining into a larger display, a 35g fuge and a 30g anemone/clown tank. Flow through the tanks had to beslow or microbubbles in the display was a problem. The slow flow through should be fine for a fuge though. The water will get a bit of dwell time for the macroalgae to utilize available nutrients. Just make sure to provide flow with powerheads within the fuge tank. A 10g probably wont have a huge impact on a 125g display, but every little bit helps.
