looking to build a sump/refugium...what is the best plan you have seen here or other sites? any suggestions?
 
I like mine. I got it from another guy at RC.
I added the frag chamber and black acrylic (for independent lighting systems).

question....first chamber is where the water goes down from the main tank.
2. is where the refugium show go.
3. rumble live rock and bubble traps.
4. skimmer??
5. return pump
Is the skimmer suppose to be first or last in this stage?
Do I need live rocks in the sump/refugium?
 
No skimmer.
#1 chamber holds tupperwares full of Miracle Mudd, Various algae species on top, Mangrove also.

Through baffles (various flosses)

#2 chamber, 2" live sand and rock w/frags on the sides.
