Default Sump/Refugium Idea for 55gal

I have had my 40 Ga FOWLR tank for a few years and loved it. The wife, knowing I've wanted to start a reef tank, recently purchased a 55 Gal tank and stand for me. I am in the process of cycling it right now, and since I'm new to reefs, wanted to run the sump design I came up with past you guys. I have never run a sump before and knew very little about them. I have spent hours and maybe even days reading about them for the past week or so. This is the sump design I would like to use...just wanted to make sure it makes sense to those with more experience and hopefully you guys will have some advice for me. Thanks for your help.

-Chris

It looks great, but the whole purpose to have a sump is so that you dont have filters and heaters showing on your main tank .so you dont really need that hang on filter in the back,and the filter system your putting in the bottom will be plenty for your tank. Plus you will be wasting less electricity. lol

Its nice that you want to start reef tank and I think 55 gallon is sufficient for reef tank and I have saw your sump design for reef tank. And I think it is really good. You said not having much knowledge but you have done really nice work.
