Buying a new tank?

Also be sure to use the right silicone. I always play it safe and get the stuff made for aquariums but some use the stuff you can buy at Home Depot. Whatever you use, it should be 100% silicone with no mold/bacteria prohibitors.
sorry to keep telling you what do to. I'll stop now

.Okay got the sump designed.. skimmer section used capacity 9.27 gal return section used capacity 4.88 gal refugium section used capacity 23.2 gal .. skimmer will be on a 2.5 inch platform with water level at 12.75in.. return section water level will be at 11.75 in.. and refugium section water level at 16.25.. I am leaving the tall baffle 2'' from the top so the entire rest of the tank can act as a overflow if things go bad. ill try to draw something tomorrow If this is confusing... it will go skimmer ---> return <--- refugium the return will feed the refugium.

Sounds like a good, well planned layout. Make sure you have enough room in the skimmer section for all drain pipes + filter sock + skimmer to fit comfortably as this is the part of the sump you will access most often.
