    I plan on doing mineral mud, live rock, macro algae, and pods. Dont know much about refugiums.

    that sounds fine and certainly wont hurt, although realistically a 75 gallon fuge would be better for a 15 gallon display

    I would install the biggest tank that will fit under your DT and divide it between a sump and a refug.

    hrmm my inwall tank has a 8' x 6' room. i should look into dividing half the room for a fuge lol

    in all seriousness though, thats what im doing too. mud, mangroves, chaeto, and some LR rubble in a 20gal fuge/sump

    All I have in my sump/refug is Fiji mud,cheato and mangroves. You really dont need the LR rubble unless you dont want a lot of LR in your DT. Heres a pic of mine.
