55 gal Plumbing changes

[juke]

I would like to add a refugium and in sump skimmer under my 55. The current setup really makes maintenance difficult. Please comment if you see things that I can improve on and if my new concept design looks good! Here is an image of my current setup:

Here is something of a concept design that I would like to move to:

It looks like a good plan.

You going skimmerless on that change?

Looks like he is going to use a AquaC urchin pro in the sump where the return from the tank comes in(kind of hard to see).

Ah Ok I think I see it now. Thanks Dave , Need better glasses I guess...lol

I would love to see pictures when you get to that point. I have a similar setup with a 55. Looks Good!

Good deal! I am always looking for input on my projects. I am thinking about adding an Oceans Motion Super Squirt at the junction from the main pump

BTW: I will have an ETSS Gemini 750 Dual tower skimmer for sale shortly.

How did this change turn out?
I just got a 55gal myself and I am looking for ideas.

Sorry, I ahave been dragging my feet on this setup... I have a very nice ETSS ReefDevil 750 skimmer that rocks and have been hesitant to get rid of it. I am thinking that this will be a summer project and will post photos when it is setup
