Sump mock up.... thoughts before I have it made....

[Dukereefnz]

Hoping you good people could comment on my proposed sump.
Part of the goal was easy access to the filter roller, algae scrubber and skimmer.

Twin overflow in to the X1
Over an under baffle in to skimmer area....
Then over the side wall in to the next section... with a small pump feeding scrubber, and heaters.
And over and under in to return section.

The return is not huge but ATO should sort and fluctuations.

Flow over under - skimmer

Next section and return

From the top

Looks good (cardboard is a great idea!) Are you planning to run any bio media? The chamber directly above the skimmer might work great for that. Any plans for reactors, a UV, etc? (manifold for the return might not be a bad idea).

Yes I have UV - will be from one of the return pumps through UV to tank.
The other return is direct, pump to tank.
Manifold supplied by scrubber pump.
Three tapes from manifold for medi reactors.

Bio media- yes not sure where to place this...

Dastaco C2 calcium reactor...a little under size for my tank
