Yeah, I need to think about my sump, I realised that it was tight when I started looking at the plumbing. Being in a rental suite, I wanted one mainly for backup in case any equipment leaked. There will be some redundancies built in
I think I am going to try and drop the lower section (advantage of building it yourself) I have the height on sump I do because it was free

Default Tank up and running

Well I got the tank up and running, the dry rock and live rock in there and looks like it's diatoming it up!

I also lowered the supports on the bottom and so the 50gal might still work for the sump. For now I have a temp sump that is just a bin to give me time to think through the sump and design it the way I want!

Default bare bottom

I don't think so, it looks too weird to me, but I was told that cycling with a bare bottom is ideal, so I'm giving it a go.
