what do you think of this?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		I think I've decided what I'm going to stick with.  Provided it doesn't cost too much I'm going to have this custom sump built by a pro.  The measurements are a little unorthodox so I basically have to get a custom tank if I want to go any bigger than 10 or 20 gal. 
 
Do you see any shortcomings with this design?  I basically compiled it from everything I've read about sumps over the past few days, plus tailored it to suit my wants for this tank.  (i.e. mandarinfish, NO3 reduction via DSB)
