Hello RockStar,

Nice layout. Just a thought...sock, skimmer, refugium/mud, return pump. If it was made this way you could make sure all the water passes through the plants and mud before returning to the tank. This also will allow you to use only two pumps in the sump, including the skimmer that is. Not sure what everyone else here thinks about this, good topic.:fish:

I was worried about having that much flow going through the refugium section, that is why I added a second pump to the skimmer section to pump a slow amount of water to the refugium. I also meant to put the auto top off in both pics but I forgot about it. I basically created one image then flipped it around so that it would fit my profile on my display tank. I have my drain coming out of the right side. So I am going to wait on this sump design until I get an ok from some more people here. I am interested on what people say about the flow into the refugium.
