Help with my sump/refugium

[99taws6]

Ok, I just set up my 72Gal Bowfront RR and it currently has a wet/dry w/ biowheel underneath. I want to build a sump/refugium for it as soon as possible. I currently have a 29gal aquarium that I can use as my sump/refugium or a I can buy a 20L to use. Either will fit. I would like to put my skimmer in my sump/refugium as well.

Can anyone help me with a basic layout/design of this setup? I don't want to dump mad money into it right now, but I want to make sure I have my baffles and stuff in the right place. Thanks so much for helping this newbie out.

Ask Hobogato (Ace) he has all kinds of designs. Or he can build you one.

Here is a design that I used when I build my sump, it works great and it was under $60 in supplies. I used 1/4" acrylic and you can get it at Plastic Supply on Josephine St in San Antonio.

I have a glass tank 30X13X13 if you are interested. It is already drilled near the top/side w/a bulkhead and drain pipe for return to your sump. $40
