Sump build

[JKDMan]

Going to be making a sump out of a 20 long for my 75 gal DT. Is there a optimal order for the areas? Drain , skimmer\equipment. Fuge, return.

Thanks

That will work. Be sure you screen off the return from the fuge so junk does not get to the pump

40 breeder would work better for you because of space the skimmer will take up.

Are you planning on running a small BIo load?

Yep... only 5 fish. And coral. My current filtration creates undetectable no3, po4 with my current bio load
