Hey guys so I recently bought the IM Nuvo INT 75 with the APS cabinet. Plan on having a mixed reef and was wondering if you could help me select a sump. Can't decide if I want to do a refugium or go zeovit. Leaning towards refugium. But the 3 sumps I can't decide on are in the poll. If you have any input please share.
 
I have a Trigger 39 for a 180 and wish I would've went with their Tideline series instead (only available at brick & mortar places) because the skimmer area is only good for space saving skimmers.

Whereas my brother, who has a coral business, went with the Icecap 36 sump for his 210, which has a huge skimmer section for external pumps (which are more effective and cheaper than space savers), but no fuge because it houses an ato compartment instead. He dremelled out blocks of the ato wall to make it a passive fuge, which works great.

Just another option to keep in mind, the Icecap sump, and they're cheaper than the options you selected. If you go Triton, that huge skimmer area would make a nice fuge + the ato area you can incorporate as well.
 
Hey guys so I decided before I ordered to make a cardboard cutout to check if the sump will fit in the stand. It will fit I just wont be able to pull it in and out. When you get your system up and going do you really ever have to pull the sump all the way out? I will still have plenty of room to clean it just not pull it out.
