Good noob sump design?? (pic)

looks alright....i dont see nething wrong with it as of now....id prolly make the bubble trap, the right one, make it a little higher not much but a little but other then that it looks pretty good

Are you just wanting it for water flow? I don't see any equipment other than a return pump.

i second that ^^^^....if u want to have some type of filtration u are gonna need a place to put it...id make the intake part bigger and cut slits like u have on the top on the bottom and allow the water to flow through it...some people use bioballs and some use L,R bioballs are cheaper but can become nitrate inhibitors(mine has a sponge to catch big stuff so im not one to talk) so u would have to clean them much more often then LR but otherwise u just have an expensive powerhead...but water circulation is always good and u can add a skimmer and heater something which is nice... check the melvs reef website if u need it ask i dont have it at the moment but that is the best site for all ur ?'s a and designs...GL to ya mate
