Fixing to set up my first sump and looking for tips, trick, does and don't.
 
Sumps are sumps, you really need to figure out what you want going on down there.

Skimmer, fleece roller?
Refugium?
ATS?
Socks?
Other?

I have a UV and ATS, and socks at the moment. Socks likely to be retired.
 
I'll keep my filter socks. @BryanM is right, figure out what equipment you want to run.
I'm not sure I'm keeping mine, but I am leaning towards it.

I'm not going back to a fleece roller.
