I'm planing a similar setup.
Interested to see your 8 segment sump.

What is this Faios Purple Live Rock? I've never heard of it, and I'm interested. Is it man made rock?

The dimensions for the refugium is 14x30. I was going to make baffles that cut off the width section and divide it.

Using the calculator I figure I need around 14g reserve for ATO, 1.5gallon for calcium, MG, and ALK and the rest is for the refugium.

I hope it won't be a disaster. LOL

It's the man made purple rock from our local fish shop FAIOS.
