Just finished the last baffle. Now I've got to work on the filter sock holders.
Show off your SUMP!

Where did you find these plans? What are all your spaces for?

It's a design I came up with.
Based on the first pic, the water enters the small upper left corner, flows up/over the filter socks. Then into the skimmer section, over/under/over bubble trap, middle return pump section. The return will be tee'd for the sections on the right side. I'm going to use the right side for a 10.5 gallon water change chamber, or refugium. I'm not sure what I'm going to use the other chamber for, in the lower right corner, but it can feed off the tee return or I can use it for ATO.
I drilled the hole to relieve the surface water from being trapped in the filter sock section. I'm cutting some PVC sheet material to mount two 4" x 10.5" socks.
The BA siphon and secondary will terminate into the small section, the emergency will terminate into the skimmer section. The skimmer section is 11.50" x 10.625", 9" height.

Wow! Everyone's sump looks so professional and "store bought" I'm reluctant to show mine. Anyway, it was DIY and not expensive. Now let's see if I can post the pic.

My first reef tank, so this is the sump for it, bioballs are temporary till i get my Skimmer before i get the nitrate police called on me. I wish it were larger but a 40b is all i can manage under my 150g tall tank, id like a larger fuge, but otherwise im happy with its functionality thus far.
