Here is my 20 Tall sump setup. Does the layout look right? The acrylic I got from the guy on ebay that does a fantastic job cut to order. Only issue is he didnt include any instructions or photos even so I am guessing by looking at vids and other pics. Is this the right order?

Thanks

Put the heater in a place where the water can't drain. I would recommend puting it in the same one as the heater.
I accidentally melted a heater doing a waterchange yesterday forgetting to turn it off.

Also you won't want a heater in a refugium. Otherwise it looks good.

So in with the pump or socks?
 
I’d put the heater in the skimmer area, or the return chamber, just make sure to not let the water level go
