sump setup?

[sweetrav18]

I will start off by saying I am "uninformed" when i comes to sumps. My aquarium use...gasp a mechanical filter. I will be seting up a larger roughly 75gallon tank and need suggestions. SHould I go with a refugium (which seems complicated) or something like a mega flow wet/dry. ANy other suggestions/personal recommendations would be awesome. Pics would be even better since I am a visual person. Thanks ahead of time.

For my 75 I bulid myself a sump that holds my skimmer and has a fuge section. Was actually really easy to do. Excluded drying time, it only took a couple of hours to make.

Here is an older picture of it.
