Refugium Picture What u think?

[cam78]

OK, heres the deal. Its homemade and I am asking for some feedback on it. Its a 10 gallon refuge for a 46 gallon tank. Where the water dumps into (left side) (from the DT) there is 2 5/8 inches where im thinking I will put my HOB skimmer. Then the baffles are placed 1 down 1 up and one down again each 1 inch apart.
Then it goes into the portion (middle) for the LS and LR which is 7 3/4 inches long. 9 inches high.
Then the baffles, which is one down (wall for LR and LS) then one up. I then have 5 7/8 inches for where the pump would go (right side). I didn't do 3 baffles there because I figured I needed room for a pump, they are pretty big right?
I'm thinking of getting the Lifereef overflow. If something dosen't seem right please let me know. Hopefully the Pic's work, never did it before.

Same exact baffle layout as the one I just made out of a 29 gallon tank.....works great. Be sure to check that all the extra water fits in it in the event your return pump fails or the power goes out.

yeah, i didn't order my overflow yet, i have to wait n see. does it look like it would fit? That depends on where I set my overflow right? I'm new at this!
