How about this fuge design?

[smellslikefish]

I think its a 20 gallon. The DT is 72gal. I also need to fit my protein skimmer and my heater in there somewhere. I want to keep a mostly soft reef tank. Please give me your thoughts and suggestions.
Thanks,

That equals 15g If you have room to increase the size, I would recommend it.

would work ok, but i'm confused as to the there chambers in the middle.

take a looksie
i don't think you're going to have enough room for a submerged pump OR skimmer btw

I guess I dont need the 3 chambers in the middle, I just saw other drawings with it. I hope i can figure this out, I dont think I can fit a larger tank under there. Does anyone have a fuge under their 72gal bow front that I can take a look at??
Thanks everyone

I built one just a little bit smaller for a 55 and was too small. I had to add an auxilary fuge and add it via bulk heads and clear tubing. Works great. The overall volume is 34 gallons
You don't need all those walls in the center section of your sump. At the most you need is four. Overflow,bubble trap takes two, then the return wall.

i use a 30 gal as my sump/fuge on my 55 gal.

How tall should I build my baffles? I think I'm going to take a crack at this tomorrow.
