Sump Question/Hello

[Defect]

First of all...Hello!

I am new to the forum here or at least posting here. I'm going to be starting up a tank with the dimensions of 25x22x22 and I am figure about a 25 gallon sump underneath. Since the tank is going to be made custom I am just going to have him make the sump as well with specific dimensions. I am thinking of going with a 25x16x15 which will equal about 26 gallons. Just wanting to get some opinions from others out there that maybe wish their sump had more of this or more of that. BTW this is going to be my first saltwater tank. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron

The sump will probably holding a : [h=1]DNWB 110 Reef Octopus 4" Recirculating Protein Skimmer which has the dimensions of 10.5″ x 8″ x 23″ [/h]
Couldn't seem to find the edit button so just posted again. Sorry.

Just need the biggest baddest skimmer you can fit, and a truck load of macro algae.
Probably some posts for Probes would come in handy.
