have to take new pics as afew things have changed :D
 
Still building it...

Left- 29g overflow incoming, quick 25 g water change capability, heater location and detritus settling. This overflows to

125 main sump with 12 g skimmer section with reactor manifold and additional 10 g water change if needed

Middle- 17g return section with all my sensors, Jabao dcp 18000 and ato

Right- 40 g refugium fed from teed return at 400 gph

Big black box on far right is a 29 g cryptic refugium fed from the manifold at 150gph, overflows into the refugium .

Not shown is a separate 20g long that I plan to derim and make a shallow mangrove tank. Will be fed from manifold at roughly 200gph. Going to put a couple tube anemones and some sexy shrimp in there too. Will be on a ‘floating’ shelf above the fuge

Behind the tank. 20 gallon long refugium, ATO reservoir, UV & work surface. My tank is in the corner of my living room and I can walk behind the tank.

Mine is super simple compared to some of you.

Socks/chaeto in one chamber, then rock rubble and skimmer, then return pumps.

This was my DIY mini-sump for an old nano build. Cut the glass myself.
