It looks a bit strange because I originally had a bit of a different plan in mind but ended up running out of room so had to adapt a bit.

One of the stand pipe is on a gate vale and just feeds the fuge. That water runs over the black overflow into the next compartment along with the other stand pipe, and from there both go to the sump in the lower level.
Back to the tank on a Mag 9.5 through a SWCD
Originally I was going to run one standpipe to the Fuge and one to the sump but I had problems with getting the plumbing all in there.

Next job will be to finish the rest of my 60 gallon cube.
Wanted to set this up and get it ready so I have somewhere to QT my fish ect.
Anyone have any ideas for a not so noisy pump would like something about the size and output of my mag 9.5 as I am limited on space.
I will also have to find a smaller heater to fit in the sump, but with 250w on 25 gallon I probally will not need one.

I got one Pom Pom crab a while ago but because you only see them ones in a while I got two more to even the odds.
I got rewarded tonight at feeding time as this one was hungry.

So I changed out my stand for a bigger one as the one I had was to small and changed some of my plumbing at the same time. I had picked up another tank that I wanted to make into a Fuge but have it on top so the pods don't end up in the filter bag.
So this was the weekend that I was going to make this happen.
So i get home on Friday and one of my clowns is gone. He was looking a bit sad the last few days, but was still eating and I gave him a dip. I thought well the system should take care of him he was pretty small.
So I get up on Saturday and my Blue spot has one of his fins clamped back. Damm so I pulled him out and put him in QT and treated him with para-guard. No luck at five he was gone. My other clown is now in medication as he was looking a bit sad as well. Funny thing is they were all eating ok. So after all this I figured since the fish are out I might as well change stands. Here is the end result. Ohh and I lost two sexy shrimp in the move after I changed all of it there was only two left. Not sure what happened must of buried them or something.
My clown is looking better though.

New refugium and tank




The swirls are air bubbles in the picture I thought my skimmer in the sump would fix this problem but looks like I will have to do a mod.
