I believe that it is essential to provide multiple types of filtration in an aquarium to maximise the export potentials. The refugium as you said is very good at removing nitrates and phosphates from the water, however it should also be noted that the macro algae needs to be trimmed back from time to time to prevent any possibility of crashing and also to promote new growth. I also think that it would be beneficial for your reader to understand the importance of lighting and water movement in a refugium.
