Well, I have a sump and a remote dedicated refugium. Sump has two towers, each containing mechanical filters, chemical media, and a giant biowheel. Skimmer chamber has a skimmer with a rated capacity twice the DT. I have a remote 20T refugium plumbed into the system, full of C. racemosa, flow of 600 gph, lit by twin T5's.

Here are a photo:

Just a skimmer, chaeto, pump (return), SCWD, heater. Keeping it simple.

Just out of curiosity, why do you have coral in your sump?

It's a display type sump/fuge. Have a viewing window so just the compartment with the zoas, mushrooms and macro algea can be seen but not the down pipe for the drain or the return pump.
