I will be picking mine up this afternoon and expect a long evening playing with them!
Photos? Its hard to make recommendations without seeing what you are describing.
I prefer the refugium on the far end since it does not need the entire overflow GPD, only a portion is teed over to the fuge off the overflow with a...
As long as you stick with a reputable vendor like Spectrapure, PurelyH2o, BRS, AWI etc. you will probably get the quality you want. Not sure I would...
Here is my sump about 9 years ago when I was building it. Notice the three baffles between the center/skimmer section and the return pump section on...

Probably time for a new ASOV then, it was worth a try.

I am not sure what the new controller provides. There are several lengthy write ups on Reef Central though talking about them.
