50 Gallon Waterfall Lagooooon

So thanks to steve, I now have a good first skimmer sump, so the layout has changed. I am also adding a 50 gallon live rock sump on a new top shelf. The layout has changed to this:

I'm not sure where to but the DSB and cheato fuge though. Should I put it in the 20 gallon tank on the middle shelf (right) or in the main sump in the middle chamber? (see yellow arrows for locations)

Also, I want a frag tank in the middle of all this craziness. My original plan was to have the DSB and cheato in the middle chamber of the bottom sump, and the 20 gallon on the right as the frag tank. Now that I have the dedicated live rock/water change tank on the top shelf, I have lots of space left over for other things. What should I dooo??

Frag tank in the tank next to the skimmer and fuge in the lower sump. That's what I would do.

Sorry if I missed it, but how are you controlling Humidity in this room? That's alot of surface area with all 4 tanks. Your evaporation rate for that small of a display tank is going to be insane.

The support system is going to be used for a larger system in the very near future, so the display will only be temparary.

The humidity will be controlled by an exhaust fan in the hole you see in the wall on the left hand side of the closet (next to the skimmer tank). This leads right outside to vent humidity. I also have a large de-humidifier in the room that the closets are in.

Eventually I will install an HRV, but until the day money grows on trees, the humidifier and the exhaust fan will have to do!

How many tangs do you have in your 20 gallon Nano? NONE... because you have the common sense and decency not to do something silly.

This coming from a guy who's about to stuff a VOLCANO into a 50g.. Have you no decency man! That poor volcano :-(
