Adding Refugium to Sump?

Hi all,
I've never had a refug and am thinking about adding one to my 125 gallon tank (fish & live rock but no coral). Is it possible to create a refug inside my existing sump? I currently have a protein skimmer sitting in the middle section and my return pump in the section to the right of the blue filter media. Any input on this would be appreciated!

Hello and welcome to the site...I think it's possible, you'll have to just section off a portion of the sump. In the refugium, are you gonna go with a dsb or just rocks and microalgae?
 
If I were you, I'd take a piece of plexiglass and divide your return pump area into two sections. Then but macroalgae in the section that does not hold the pump.
