    I have a 150gal show tank and am looking to upgrade my sump setup from a small 20 gal to a 40 gal breeder tank. Does anyone have a really good design for a sump/refugium?

    That is a very good article that Powerman put out there. Take in as much as you can from as many places as you can find. Put it all together and pick the pcs that fit your needs.

    The best I know if would be the one with 3 sections.... the return in the middle, skimmer on one end, fuge on the other. The OF T's off to each end.
