Sump and skimmer help

[javman]

here is the basic design of the sump, its 30 g. I have a 72 bow front. what i ask is how should i set it up, i was going to try and place LR in the middle. I'm not sure where i should place a protein skimmer let alone which kind i was thinking either a prizim or Euro reef. I have a return pump and am just wondering maybe where to place it and which side I should have the intake and outake. all help is really appreciated.

i havent heard much about, prizm but i have heard good reviews on Euroreef, you might try posting about that in Lighting and equiptment section. Hope that helps a little

Jav...When designing/building a sump/refugium I would take a trip to melevsreef.com He has many different sump designs that can fit almost any application with step by step pictures/directions. If you are doing a DIY
sump I strongly urge you to visit that site. Lots of useful info.
The sumps I have built all have three basic sections. On one side a place to collect the drain water that is big enough to hold a skimmer, a middle section that has you return pump and another section to hold any biologic filters/cleaners..macroalgae/sand/rock.
