Default Sump Picture. please answer i am statring to work on it today???

is this a good design .... and please tell me your opinions its going to be a 10 or 20 gallon sump.. what overflow system would you suggest that not noisey. it for my 40 gallon tank

Way too complicated. PLEASE look at the sump I asked you to that Adam Jenkins has set up. Very simple,clean,easy and effective.

Equipment and water in on left side...return pump in middle...refugium on right. The line supplying the water to the sump is T d off and that line supplies the refugium at a very slow rate. Notice Adams Grow light for the refugium side of his sump.
