The customer asked for a drip tray so I built it. I personally don't think it's necessary but the rationale bechind that is to filter out any particulate coming from the main tank. You can further place media bags in there as well if you like.

Sump questions.. need advice
 

One:

I've seen Many sump plans and drawings - 'net searches - many of which are reported to work well. My own will be similar to yours, with a dual baffle at one end only.

Skimmer pump in the first chamber, skimmer feeding into the second.

Fingers crossed, and away we go!
