I wouldn't say the refugium isn't considered for removing nutrients, because if you don't trim up your algae (like your scrubber) it can continue to drop nutrients just as much.There purposes overlap, but they serve different overall needs. The scrubber reduces nutrients at a quick rate and can help stabilize pH. The refugium is a refuge where you can grow macro algae, grow pods, house equipment, increase water volume and store more media. A refugium is almost always superior.
