Hey good people
I plan on adding a sump and have drawn up the following design with the pathing as follows
Inlet then up and onto the sock platform. Down the sock and out into the skimmer section. Then out out an submerged 2" bulkhead then diagonally across the bio media chamber to the exit via an adjustable weir into the return pump section. In the bio section I will have a gfo/carbon reactor feed by a small dc pump pulling water fron the "dead zone" top left. The lower right of the bio chamber will have a ats mounted above and another small dc pump feeding it, hopefully eliminanting the low flow corner.
Can I get some feedback on the diagonal flow, opinions if it is oki
cheers

If everything fits then I don’t see any issue with that plan.
