Fuge "pod farm" this idea have any merit?

In the process of setting up a second fuge for my system. As it is a homegrown ghetto setup, I am going with a 5gal bucket. The whole idea is that water from the DT tank will be pumped into it, and an overflow is set up to drain back. Going to set it up with some LR/rubble, a DSB, Chaeto and a 100w spiral 6500k bulb.

My thought process is that it will be substantially easier for pods to reproduce AND make it back into the tank with a short ride as opposed to through multiple bubble traps and into a return pump.

I will post up some pictures once it is up and running, but other then ugly does this seem like a fundamentally sound idea or am I just nuts?

 

I've seen refugiums in totes and such before. Doesn't matter what container it is. Nothing says a refugium has to be in nice pretty acrylic tank. One problem I see without tank dividers and bubble traps. (if you don't have them in your sump) You need something to catch stray strands of chaeto.

 

My worry wasnt the container so much as wondering about the placement having any merit over your typical fuge, if the drain-to-tank method was worth it or not. I am going to keep the secondary fuge that is already in my sump up and running, but move the chaeto to the top fuge. I was thinking I would either just toss on a bulkhead strainer or some plastic screen to keep things seperated, that should be big enough to let the beneficial life through but keep out any unwanted muck.
