Bio Pellets or Refugium

DT is 90g and sump is 40g.

Ideally you would want a bit more space than that (say maybe 12"), but 10" should do the trick for you. You may have to install a powerhead in the chaeto chamber at the bottom of the chamber probably at the outflow end pointing back towards the inflow to make a rolling water action in that chamber.

As soon as I get a skimmer I'll see what actual space I have but I think 12" won't be a problem. Should I set up triple baffles between the skimmer section and chaeto chamber ie. over/under/over type of thing or would a single divider work with the chaeto trapping most of the bubbles?

[Myka]

Ime if many bubbles get the chaeto you may get cyano and/or hair algae growing in the chaeto ball. Do you have an ATO? (sounds random but it's not lol)

For baffles, I would go under, over, under, and don't let the over drop more than an inch to the water level in the next chamber.

Biopellets > Refugium

I like the use of a DSB mangrove config but I also grow Cheato, run biopellets and have a copious amount of live rock.

That's a nice mangrove forrest you have growing there! I especially like the ship.
