New sump design fro 3ft tank

[weesy74]

I have designed a new slump for my 3ft. Any pitfalls in this design.

Any advice?

bro, from the display tank to the skimmer compartment, maybe you can put Wool -> Live rock -> Skimmer ->filter wool with biohome -> return pump

Correct me if I'm wrong, but normally filter wool comes first to filter out the big particles, then skimmer? or your overflow will go straight to the middle compartment first? then flow over to the sides? Then change the baffle design for the skimmer section.

So from what

I hear is to swap the Skimmer and the filter wool compartment right? Will not be able to change overall dimension and the skimmer compartment as this new sump is due to me buying a huge skimmer (at least compared to my old HnS one)

Thanks for the feedback.

yupz remember to take into account the internal height of your cabinet for your skimmer, otherwise you will need to put in the skimmer first before pushing the sump into the cabinet.

nice platinum clown! yours?

sorry for the late reply on sump dimension. The height and width are 18 inches. For the left, exactly 3ft. The sump is divided into 2 compartment. The larger compartment is around 22.5 inches. If you are interested, can arrange to view and collect. Cheers.
