Nice, is your return in your fug area? Does it sick up sand?
 
It is in the corner to the right thair. Hasent picked up sand yet. But I'm expecting it to clog with the grape clurpa.
 
I want to try to get the biggest refugium scion but still have room for my skimmer and filtersocks in the over flow section, and also wondering if there's anyway to put the baffles to get the water level in the middle higher than the over flow section

Okay guys I just bought a 30 gallon oceanic sump for my 75 Gallon and this skimmer came with it. It doesn't have a brand or name on it so I don't know anything about it. Does anyone know how to set it up and what else I will need?
 
This is how I made my middle section higher. The skimmer sections flows under the refugium to the far right section then into another joined tank that has my sock and return sections.

Now do you want it to be a little smaller and silicone it in or does it have to be perfect to hold the pressure
 
On mine I had some timbered glass panals and I put them at a angle to fit because I couldn't cut them. Probly not the best way but it gave me more room for my scimmer and sock.

Here's mine. This is underneath my 120 gal display. It is set up stack with another sump containing the skimmer and return pump below it. The refugium drains by gravity into the sump below. A tall cabinet, this one being 40in. is a must with this method. That chaetosandwich is about 1 months growth.

That is cool . Looks easy to keep clean.
