Please look at my sump design and gave me your advise and comments. I am planning to build this sump but I don't know is going to work best for my 50gal tank. The sump running from the basement to the ground floor.

Thanks,

Looks good. I just finished mine. I would keep that return line towards the back of the tank instead of the middle like your plan. It will be easier to work on your sump.
 
you only need one bubble trap just before the pump. i would also caution having the inverted bubble trap there like you do only because of possible stagnate water at the surface of the trap, but i get why you want it there.
