Daplatapus's upgrade

[daplatapus]

I've had a re-thought about my sump. My skimmer is external so I have gained a huge footprint area I can use for a fuge. My initial thoughts was to have a remote fuge but I'm quickly running out of room. I wanted a large sump to handle the water flow from a power outage. Amazing how much water all that piping and overflow can hold. Here's what I've come up with so far.



At the end of the fuge section I added a 6" baffle in case I ended up putting some sand or miracle mud or something in there. I am growing mangroves and would like something for them to root into eventually. I'm a little worried about flow through there being too much, so I am contemplating sectioning off that area and allowing at least a portion of the total flow to bypass the fuge.
Any thoughts?
