How do you plan on cleaning out that area if it does work well?
Ok, good points again crvz. I plan on roughly 900gph at most through the sump. That's about 5x the display volume. I think I could get in there with some tubing to clean it out if it gets dirty. But, if everyone thinks it's unnecessary, or could cause problems later, I'll take it out.

Is there anything else you would add? I might want to do a rack for probes, but I can design that after I get the sump built. I'll run carbon in a reactor so I probably won't do a section for bags. All will be plumbed off the main return pump from the manifold.
