Sump tank ideas

[pkstylez]

My sump tank is 36 x 32 inches by 14 inches tall.
Looking to have a segregated sand area that I will have chaeto in a floating plastic deal that will have pods in them etc snails in the sand turning it. Looking for some ideas on layout of the baffles etc. Appreciate any ideas for efficiency guys here is the first idea I had.
Thanks everyone

My only suggestion would be to not add sand. Snails or not, it will become detritus sink in short order.

I'm not saying that a remote DSB isn't very useful tool for nitrate reduction. It is. The problem you have is that what area you have will not be large enough to be beneficial.

Looking at the drawling it looks like the refuge area is separate will the drain flow through back to the return ?

Not sure the logistics just yet. I'm thinking
Drain / refuge / return
Skimmer/ rock, macros/ return pump
