Yes you need a small pump to get water form your tank to the refugium.

Place a sand bed of ultra-fine calcium-carbonate sand or get some sand form your main tank.

Place a pile of small broken up rock or dead coral skeletons in it to provide surface area, and places for the critters to hide.

Plant some macro algae, prune them occasionally to provide a nutrient export to your system.

Throw in a snail or two to help keep it clean, after it is well established.
