my new sump/fuge

[zeroghd]

I got my new Oceanic 150g picked out and will be getting it soon. I decided to pick up a 55g to use for my sump/fuge and built it last night. It has a chamber on the left for my Berlin turbo protein skimmer. The first baffle after the skimmer has a tray to place a bag of carbon when needed. A chamber on the right for the refugium with a 4"x4"x8" inlet box and a 1" drilled overflow. The refugium will have live sand/rock and microalgae. The middle chamber is for the return pump. I went extra on the baffles to help remove the microbubles.
skimmer chamber @4.5g
refuge chamber @9.6g
pump chamber @9.2g
There is 25g+ for overflow when the system is shut down.
What do you guys think?

Will have to wait till I get everything setup. Will probably be a couple of weeks. I will post new pics then.

Its not a spraybar. It is a perforated 1" pipe overflow to the pump section. It is removeable for cleaning in case any microalgae gets caught in it. I just did it that way instead of a regular baffle overflow. I am thinking it should work ok. I'm waiting for it to cure so I can give it a test before I get everything setup.
