Hi,

I have a 75 gal with a 33 gallon sump (it was the biggest I could fit in my stand). I have the skimmer on the main drain section, the return pump in the middle and a refugium on the right.

The main drain carries 75% of the water and branches off to the refugium which carries 25% of the water.

I refugium has exploded with pods as there are no predators in there. Every now and then a handful of them get swept up by the return pump and find their way into the display where they become free food or find a place to hide/reproduce in the rock work.

The setup seems to work really well and is effortless to maintain.

I'll attach a pic when I get home if it would help.

Also, Google 'Melevs Reef Sump' and you will find more info on sumps than I could e er provide.
