RSM s650, original sump time to upgrade

[IrishMarine]

Hey Guys

So I have the standard factory Red Sea Max s650 sump. It was just never right, not the build quality or anything it just didn’t make sense for all the stuff we put in a sump these days, and the logical step by step flow or sequences just didn’t make sense.

I need something to fit in the cabinet which is 38” in width, the height and depth generally isn’t an issue.

I tried separate LifeReef sump and refugium, but again, just not making sense although technically it is working.

Any suggestions? I do like the idea of drains which come down and overflow then into the socks, 2-3, and from there on to the next step. I like to run/house a UV, skimmer, and macro, thermometers, before hitting the return

Any suggestions, and why?

Have you looked into any of the Synergy sumps? I'm not running Triton method per say, but I do like their Triton sumps in regards to setup/spacing...etc.

I have actually. I’ve been researching a new sump the past two months and it’s decision time soon enough
