sump design

Thank-you!

That site was a big help in designing this sump. There's actually quite a few great designs on the web but for some reason most of them incorporate the skimmer after the refuge and I don't understand the point of that.

I'd like to eventually get a copperband and will need to raise food for him. I don't see the point of sending the copepods through a skimmer on their way out of the sump if I don't have to.
