    Sump tank design

    Rome is finally coming together. My stand is Almost done for the 55 gal tank.
    I bought the mag pump 950 gph & the CPR 600 gph overflow.
    I have a 20 gal long glass tank for the sump.
    Does anyone have sump design reccomendations? I have some acrylic layong around and wondered with the scrubber if I should add compartments to the sump?
    Thank you for all your suggestions!

    I prefer a wide open sump that let's food particles flow through without settling.

    Santa? On Christmas day. How about a picture of your sump? If I weren't so comfortable with my current set up I'd change mine.

    my setup is just like yorus, 55 w/ 20L sump with HOB overflow, split drain 25% to fuge 75% to skimmer. obviously if you have a turf scrubber you can take out the skimmer section. and go single drain into fuge with ATS in fuge.
