Sump Solution Ideas Needed

[Gieser]

I know there are 1,427,618 ways to do sumps with lots of different set ups.

Here is what I want to do, my tank is a 250 Gallon.

I will be using a ReeFlo 200 skimmer. I would like to combine the refugium and sump in one. I will not use bio-media, if anything it would be LR. I will keep all types of corals, clams and fish. This will be a reef. I have seen a few ideas I like, but I need your advice, and maybe some suggestions. The space I am working with will accommodate up to 42" long and 18" wide and up to 24" high.

Here are a couple I have seen:

Anyone have any ideas on a refuium/sump combo for a 250, or any advice on using a sump and refugium together in the same unit?

Is there anything wrong with having an in-sump skimmer with the Reeflo 200?
