Converting trickle sump.

[mercenary-grunt]

i was thinking about converting my trickle sump into a refugium. my thoughts are that i can make the bottom hard and put mud and some bigger ish pieces of LR in it with macro alge. cut along the top for the over flow in to the skimmer area. then the return will take it back up. also thought about putting the inlet tube and mounting it on the side or leaving it on top and having the filter basket as a water defuser.
i can draw a skimmatic if needed, but y'all are smart.

any thoughts, also if this is the wrong area feel free to move.

I actually converted a wet/dry into a sump a few years ago. If I can run my wife off of my computer, I'll post the pics
