Depending on your layout what equipment where the second bubble trap might be a moo point. My design was similar to yours but instead of a second bubble trap I just did a baffle but I routed out a 4inL x .75 in h hole in the baffle just incase something were to happen to cause the water level to drop in the sump it could buy me a little extra time till the pump went dry. That's just how I did it but am nowhere near an expert.

You may want to consider adding a filter sock holder in the first section of the sump, It's easier to do now verses later.

I was going to use the hang on filter sock holders.

Why would you use the hanger when they can install it for you?

 

[palvyre]

Do they install filter sock holders?

It would be a piece of glass with a hole in it to fit the sock into.

I rather have the U I can slide it out of.

I have a clip on the side one from BRS, it's not the most well built, but it gets the job done.

I just router one out a piece of scrap acrylic that's long enough to sit on the trim of the tank. I could bring myself to pay for the brs side clip.
