Looking for Sump Design

[piercy]

I have a 29 gallon fish tank(37"x13"x15") that I want to use as a sump for my 75 gallon Tank. I was wondering if anyone knows what the best design is with a protein skimmer (either euro-reef or ASM). I'm going to have FWLR right now, but in the future I going to want to change it to a reef tank, and I don't want to change the sump when I do that.
Thank you

I just posted one I built out of a 30.
Here's the link to it.

Is a chemical chamber necessary, or no. Will just bio-balls and a ASM G3 be enough to filter it? Also is a UV going to help?

 

[my way]

It is good to have a place to put carbon even if you don't run it 24/7, you will want to use it occasionally. If you have enough LR you won't need the bio balls. I'm not a fan of UV, they kill both good and bad bacteria and organisms. In the sumo I designed the chamber marked 5 is your carbon chamber.

Thank you. You guys are helpful.
