Default what do you think of this?

I think I've decided what I'm going to stick with. Provided it doesn't cost too much I'm going to have this custom sump built by a pro. The measurements are a little unorthodox so I basically have to get a custom tank if I want to go any bigger than 10 or 20 gal.

Do you see any shortcomings with this design? I basically compiled it from everything I've read about sumps over the past few days, plus tailored it to suit my wants for this tank. (i.e. mandarinfish, NO3 reduction via DSB)

There are other ways to go. You don't really need a DSB. Prodibio, zeo, gfo,Biopellets, vsv are all great ways to lower nutrients in tank especially with room constriction

I have a nano tank with a nanoer sump. Sump has filter sock rubble skimmer reactor and return pump. I dose prodibio and have sps dominant tank. For my years of service only being two years I'm very happy with my results
