Hi everyone.
I'm currently building a 120 SPS dominant tank. I'm at the point where I need to figure out what sump I want, well more of a configuration issue. I'm pretty much 100% set on which one I want, but there is an option for a fuge baffle. I can't really decide if I want that or not.

I plan to get a Bubble King DC 180, and most likely going to run a BRS dual reactor for Carbon and GFO or two of their deluxe models. That being said I've been thinking about which way I want to get the sump, baffle or not. So .. I decide to use some graph paper to try and "see" what kind of space I'd have. (each square is 1").
If I get the baffle ... this would be the sump (skimmer section):
17" x 17.5" -- not a whole lot of room for much of anything other than some heaters.
If I don't get the baffle ... this would be the sump (skimmer section):
27.5" x 17.5" -- lots of left over space for... "Stuff"?
I guess the question I have is... besides heaters, what am I forgetting that I'm going to want to put in the skimmer section of the sump? Anything?
I'm not 100% I want the fuge as it would be another light to get and the macro algae etc... and with running GFO is that really needed? Obviously I have tons more room to work with if I don't get the fuge.
Opinions? Comments? Suggestions?
Thanks,
