custom sump for reefer 170 sketch

Hi,

I am looking to build custom sump for my reefer 170. I would like to use it for the Triton method. Let me know what you guys think about it.

PS. What software you guys use to design sumps?

Why have that wing after the skimmer? And why have teeth there? It will just make more noise and spray than a flat weir would (and a flat one shouldn't need the wing).

I had the layout backwards... Uh, you will get some ugly water into the refuge running it all through there first.

Return may be a little small also, depending on pump height and water level. You may end up with only about 1 gallon of range before its sucking air...

I was looking in to the triton guides and most of them are suggesting fuge before the skimmer. The wing is just to stop the chaeto form going over. I did up the return to 5x10 and it will be 9 high. I will remove the teeth. My space is really limited. For return i was thinking about VECTRA S1.
