Currently I using a DIY 75 gallons aquarium with glass baffles, sock holders. refugium an skimmer section. I have 3 x 2" pipes from overflow and Reeflo Dart for return to DT. Due to the height of the 75 it make it very hard to do maintenance under the stand. I am start to look for a sump that that would work for my 375 gallons reef. The space available is 48' x 32" Any suggestions would be appreciate
 
Just my thought; I'd use a 40B from petco(40$) to replace the 75. Then eliminate the fuge section from the sump. Place a T on the return line and send a portion of the water to a standard 29 gallon(placed sideways) also from petco and have that overflow back into the sump and use that as your fuge.

Thanks I do have a 40B and a 29 just that I don't have the room under my stand. It s hard enough to do anything underneath there with the 75
 
I'm confused then, isn't a 75 48x18x21? and didn't your post say you had 48x32" of space to work with? If you removed the 75 and replaced it with the 40B(36x18x16) you would have an easier time working in it because of the lower sides and have extra room leftover for the 29(30x12x18) to have as a separate refugium. But maybe I missed something.
