sump design opinions

Hey everybody,
Just wondering if this sump design makes sense. It's a rough draft so hopefully you can see what I am trying to do. Skimmer first, then bubble trap, then refugium, then small bubble trap but more room in between to fit sponges etc...
Using a 40 long. Skimmer section is 18" and other two are about 14". All bubble traps are 9" with a couple of them 1" off the bottom. Thoughts? Questions?
Thanks,
David

Looks good. Make sure to double check all your measurements for the skimmer, lights and pump you are putting in it.
Have fun reefing!
 
I would reduce the second to last panel to the return to 8 1/2" so the water has someplace to go instead of being at the same 9" level though the whole sump.

This is the way I had mine(very rough draft lol), a 40g breeder
