Sump/Refugium Design...Comments??

[puffy_fish]

Decided on using a 75 gallon tall tank as my sump/refugium for my 175 gallon tank. Everything is to scale with the AquaC EV-240 Skimmer and Mag18 for return pump.
Let me know if you see any flaws or suggestions to my design.
Thanks!!!

You may have a problem with micro bubbles with the return pump so close to the skimmer.

Yeah I debated on putting the pump on the far right with the refug in the middle. But that is always debated.

All of my tanks are set up that way. Good flow through the fuge is important and helps eliminate bubbles. Just my .02
