New to reef 60 cube build

Good choice on the ATO. Question: is your protein skimmer in the same chamber of the sump as your return sump? If so, how does that effect your skimmer? The reason I ask is, the return side of the sump usually varies the most by far as far as water level because of evap, top off and such.
 
Ive been looking at the ice cap sumps from coral vue. Im impressed by what I see


Ya i look in to them to i just didnt like the ato chamber it wouldn't be enough for me

Thanks i got that ato on a sale couldnt pass it up. With the sump i have now i took the egg crate shelves out and put the skimmer in the second compartment but i order thr trigger cube emerald should be here Wednesday its a lot more room
 
So everything is in and hook up skimmer is going a little crazy. O want to to set and a refugium but i dont want to use sand.....can i get away with a marine pure block instead....
