    Default Sump/Refugium Design

    I am nearing the build phase for my sump/refugium. I could use some experience here with this. I would appreciate everyone's input please.
    The sump will be made out of a 30g long
    I need some ideas
    Thanks

    I have pretty much decided on the Octo extreme 160.
    30g is 36x18

    mine is made after these limpits reef videos. it works well for me but some argue that you should have the skimmer in the first section.

    All my previous sumps were designed this way. With the skimmer in the middle section. I do think it would be best in the first section, if you have the room.
