Default Comments/suggestions for rearranging sump (pic included)

Hi everyone, been a while since I have been on here, and my neglected tank needs somewhat of a makeover and I am looking for some help. I am thinking of rearranging my sump. Please tell me what you think of my current set up & idea to move things around.

Currently:

Far left compartment is the overflow from the tank, right now I have the TLF phosban in there due to lack of space

Next over to the right is my mini refugium, lit 12 hours overnight. Nothing special, couple inches of sand

Next to the right, just the Euroreef protein skimmer

Last one on the far right is my return Eheim 1250 (quite slow flow through the sump)

My thoughts:

Ditch the refugium, place the protein skimmer there, and one over to the right place the TLF reactor, phosban and add one for carbon, then over to the return pump.
Also thinking of adding a sock to my water coming in as without it my sump is a mess (and people seem to have success according to the poll).
I have quite low flow through the sump and am not seeing too much benefit from the refugium. Wouldn't mind trying zeovit, but real estate is limited.

Thoughts? Ideas? Anyone have success with a different arrangement?

Thanks in advance,

Jason
