There are some pictures of the ball valve sump design in Richards thread here http://canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=37356

I'm in the process of redesigning my sump.

Thanks. I see how it would work. I'm not sure how effective it would be at eliminating micro-bubbles, though. If the water is aerated in the skimmer chamber, that would be transmitted directly into the return, right? No chance for surface dissapation.

Ahem... I'm taking FULL credit for that sump design.
