I just setup a 30gallon cube. We used a plastic bin type thing for the sump and it worked great, except for one minor problem, after looking at it... we realised it's too shallow. If something were to happen, that thing would flood in no time. So now I'm going to go get one built at a local glass place. I've on got a 16x18 area to work with as far as footprint, and a total of 24" in height inside the stand. Here's and quick idea of what I was thinking of. Please make any suggestions you can.
I'm using a hangon skimmer, so I didn't figure that into the sump design. And I needed it small enough to where I can actually take it out of the stand, that's why I didn't use the max size.
The top left corner is where the overflow drains to, the bottom left is the refugium area, and the right side is the return.
