If you move that over to your sump it might just make it where you dont have a big cycle. You will already have a bio filter running. You will get a minni cycle but wont be as big. Those little worms on the rock are tough...they will make it. On a side note...I dont have sand in my refugium...I dont think it is needed...

It is totally your call I dont have sand in my refugium. It is totally what you want to have in it to make that decision. My refugium is live rock and cheato. There are also some asteria snails and a turbo. I have it this way for two reasons. First if its not going to be a deep sand bed 6 inches then why have it? I dont have mangroves or shaving brushes in it. My macro choice is cheato. I dont need something that needs a place to root. Second it is so much easier to keep it clean. I can look in the side of the sump and see if I have build up and if I do I can just suck it out. I run a sockless sump I dont want pods getting caught up in a filter sock. The more good things floating in the water the better. my corals, fan worms and any other filter feeders has a nice steady supply of natural food.
If you do use you sand from that tank you are going to need to rinse it anyway. Otherwise you will get a ammonia spike. If you dont use it you will probably not even see a minni cycle. :twocents:

Normally coming right out of the tank is the 90 elbow. That is where I have seen the airline added to stop the gurgle. I would think where you showed would do the same thing I just am not sure if you will need to feed the airline down the line or back up to the overflow. Other problem is if its up then water is going to go up the airline....Before drilling....Try running the airline through the bullhead and see if you can find the pocket of air that way. If that works then it saves you a possible needless hole in the plumbing. The air pocket or spot is normally 3 to 4 inches in. Oh If that works then you will need to secure the airline...Found that out when my overflow sucked in the airline and I had to go fish it out..
