Hello all!

Im new the saltwater world, bought a IM 16 about 8months ago and just sold it to start my 90gal build. Let the addiction begin haha...

Anyways, got my tank stand and canopy, and im now looking to choose the best sump. I want to use socks and would like it to be covered for noise. I will be using a EHeim 1262 pump

Any recommendations would be appreciated.
 
I also have a 90DT and have a 40B for a sump. I have the Glass-holes 1500 overflow that has two 1 1/2 inch drains. One drain goes to each of the two back corners of the sump.

The left drain enters a large sock (7" sock), and this chamber is shared with the skimmer and one heater. The drain on the right enters the refugium.

The middle section is the return section that is also shared with a biopellet reactor, a heater, and the pump to the carbon reactor.

EDIT TO ADD: Filters on here won't let me tell you the type of overflow I have.....HERE's the link, if you can't figure out the name. SECOND EDIT: Got it to show by putting in a hyphen.
