Sump help!

Here is the sump I have (Ryan, can you tell me how you had it set up with your 75?).

The largest compartment has to be for the skimmer (unless it doesn't fit under the stand, in which case I'll have to build a little side stand to hide it in).

I'm planning on putting a bulkhead into the hole leading into the shallow "channel" and plumbing the skimmer output into that. I'm envisioning using that "channel" for frags and putting a 65w PC light over it.

The other part will be the refugium somehow, but I have to figure the return pump into it somehow.

It needs a few more baffles for that. Should I drill it for an external pump (not sure if I'll have the space, the sump is 16x38, so I'd only have a few inches next to it and along the front). My return pump is an Eheim 1262 that I currently use for the CL on my 40G.

 

Any ideas how to make the sump work to my best advantage will greatly appreciated!
