Diy sump refugium questions

[Jlsardina]

Have a 75g I want to make into a sump/fuge. I have a general idea of how I want to put my chamber. However, I wanted to know if it's possible to build a chamber (small) for media bags? It would be closer to the first chamber to ensure higher flow

These are my planned chambers

1- bio balls on egg crate and covered by egg crate with filter floss then top for securing drains
2- protein skimmer/ pump for uv?
3- media bags on egg crate shelf and carbon reactor/ pump for uv?
4- refugium
5- sponge
6- return pump

That seems like a lot of sections. Media bags can be stuffed in baffles. Here is link of sumo design I used. He has other layouts as well. Great site!!

Draw it out. I have a hard time imagining your setup.

Media is much more efficient when water is forced through it, like in a reactor. I would purchase a couple/few reactors and run the media in them, instead of making all sorts of compartments.
I would also completely skip the bio balls unless you aren't using live rock in the display.
