    My next step for my 72g was to build the sump. I went with a 20l for the sump/fuge. The configuration I went with was skimmer//return//fuge. The skimmer section being 10" then the bubble trap at a total of 2 1/2". The return section is 7 1/2" and the fuge is 10"... the skimmer section is 9" tall and the return/fuge sections are 8 1/2". Here are some pictures!!8)
