I'm currently working on making a sump out of a 20 long and after having room for the skimmer, bubble traps and the return pump. It only leaves about 12 inches of space for the refugium section is this enough. Open to ideas.....

My display tank is a 75 bow front.

Some space is better than none. Won't be a big nutrient export but it will give pods and critters a safe place to hang out.

Wow, very nice looking setup! Welcome to R2R! Your refugium space should work fine. Can't wait to see it come together for you. Following for sure. Good luck and happy reefing!

I was wondering if anyone has looked into the sump kits you can buy online. I know I can go through the trouble of getting glass cut and all the other materials needed to make my own DIY sump. But the kits seem way more convenient and still offer alot of customization.
