Small 1" leading to refuge is the supply line...in the second pic at the back of refugium, fingers are cut out in acrlyic, which leads to the sump.
The 1" line has been reduced from the main line...

Okay...I think I see what you mean. You've done an amazing job with that setup. It looks immaculate, just like your display. Thanks for the input, I will see what I can do.

Hey Mark,
With such a small retutrn section yoou'll proobably want to make sure you have an auto top off as your water level is going to decline quite rapidly with evap. I'm currently running a 20 gal sump and don't have an auto top off, I have to add water daily to avaoid sucking air into the return pump. I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to make a modification to my stand to fit a 30 gal sump into it but its not looking promising. If I decide to to leave it as is and stay with the 20, I will also be ordering a Tunze skimmer, its about all that will really fit into a 20 gal sump and leave any room for anything else

refined sump/fuge design
Okay, after a bunch of suggestions, here is an updated idea/diagram of my possible sump/fuge.
Let me know what you think. Redrover, I like your idea on this but I already have the 20g tank and no more room as my stand is only 35" wide.

If vertical clearance in yoour stand is an issue (ie, can't raise up skimmer if need be) make sure you design sump to proper water depth for skimmer . I'm not sure what is reccomended for the Tunze's but might wanna double check before cutting/gluing in your baffles.
Also, being that the skimmer is only abouot 5x5 you may wanna devide the skimmer section off with some egg crate and pile in some more rock / rubble
