DIY 10 Gal sump?

This is for a 29 Gal reef tank with one fish, cuc, 20lbs LR and lps only.

I'll go ahead and start with the pics.

I have siliconed a piece of glass and a piece of plexi to see which one I would like better (I'm going with the glass next time) to make three compartments in my sump. The left compartment is where the tanks overflow drains, The small section in the middle is packed with LR rubble, and the right compartment I drilled and mounted my sump pump externally hoping to decrease heat. Now, the question I have is what to put in the left and right compartments. The right compartment cannot have anything that can be sucked into the pump (that is where the protein skimmer pump is also). Any and all ideas are welcome. Thank you in advance!
