Sump Design Help

[MAREEF]

Hello! I am wondering if I can get some feedback on this design. I really want to be able to have a separate refugium for many different reasons. I plan on creating a build thread but first wanted to get some ideas rolling. This is a very general drawing. The display is going to be about 80 gallons and the refugium will be about 40 gallons. The sump will be about the same size as a 40 gallon breeder tank. There will be all sorts of equipment in the sump that is not shown. Also, I did not put in any valves or unions. This really is just a very rough draft to make sure I am on the right track. Thank you for any input!

I would rather have it go from the dt to sump to refugium only because you don't want the pods or anything else that u want getting sucked in the filter socks or skimmer.

So are you saying you would have it go from the refugium right to the display tank? It does go from the DT to the sump then to the Refugium and then back to the sump.

Yeah go straight from dt to sump then refugium.
