DIY sump

I would like to build myself a new sump (currently using a precision marine bubble-less). I need more room. It started with just a sump for the tank, with skimmer, heater, and return pump in it.

Then i added a 'fuge and supporting pump for that.

Then i added a 20l frag tank that drains into the sump. Replaced original return pump with a mag 9.5 t'd to the display and the frag tank.

Now ive rigged a filter sock in the sump. And i just added a phosban reactor.

This little 15g sump is at its limits.

I was thinking about using another 20l for the sump, with a chamber for water coming in from the regugium, display and frag tank. Another chamber for my skimmer/phosban reactor, and a chamber for the return pump(s).

I could also include a "rack" for chemical media in one of the bubble traps.

Would this idea work? Anyone have any better ideas?
