When it is recommended to have a refugium of at least 20% of the main tank, is this only the refugium volume or the entire volume of each section including the intake and sump?

<> Thanks, Ann <> Custom refugium WWM crew, I have a 75 gallon reef tank that has been running for about 8 months now. It houses a black saddle back clown, purple tang, tail spot blenny, and blue devil damsel. It also has about a 2 inch sand bed and 60lbs of live rock. Since my tank is not drilled and I’ve heard of the headaches associated with hang on overflows, I will resort to building my own refugium that will sit next to the tank. I want the refugium to be about 25 gallons and I was hoping I could use my Eheim 1260 pump about 602gph). Will this be too much circulation in the refugium and will it hinder pod/macroalgae growth? As for the return on the refugium, I want to acheive the best circulation possible, to benefit nearby hard cora
