i have tryed to post a pic of what i would like to do but it wont let me post it so i will have to tell you. the tank is a 40long that is 4' long i am looking to split it in to 3 partes. part-1 will house my skimmer and will be where the water from the tank will enter so it will only have to be a little biger then the skimmer. part-2 will be my refuge and will be the larges part. part-3 will be where the return pump will be housed.

Mike,
Here is a genral diagram of how mine is set up. I actually went with 3 chambers instead of 4. Hope that helps! Take care!

Home depot and lowes sell 1/2 thick fiberglass that would work really well for chamber dividers. That is my next project.

attml - did you drill the side of the sump for the return line?
