I am looking at ideas for upgrading my current sump design. Please post pictures or sketches of your sumps. Also, what are some key components for filtration that should be in sumps. My sump is pretty basic, skimmer, baffles, and then return pump.

Look to Melves reef.com for sump design. He provides a lot of information and design for sumps. Its what I used so it must be the best

Melev site has good info, but you listed a good key to a sump!!!! A good efficient skimmer.

Here was my old 210 gal sump I built when I was in Fort Worth. It was 8' long. Had to get rid of it when I moved to Houston since I decided to put the tank at the office. I'm about to make a new sump to go underneath my 180g reef.
