Well while I am house sitting and have access to AutoCAD I thought I play around with a sump design. I have no clue what I am doing but I am just using elements from sumps that I have seen before.

The Sump is 44"L x 20"w x 16" H. Please give me ideas, or even tell me this is crap :lol:.

Left side is for Skimmer which I am leaning towards a ASM G-2. Right Side is for a Fuge/extra live rock.

yup generally people put the skimmer and fuge on opposite sides for two seperate flows and a pump in the center. for the glass panels you might want to make it higher to prevent microbubbles from making it through. 2 inches might be too small depending on how much water flows through, or thats just my opinion :D.
