Really like how you included a baffle but it had a cut out for the heater! Maybe that’s what I’ll do! Because I think you’re right, I think my heater will be too longHere’s my sump. Like I said, very similar to your plan. It has worked really well for me.

I do plan on using it mostly as a refugium, right now I’m growing chaeto, Pom Pom, shaving brush, and calurpa, some will go in the display though.The only thing I would really like to change about mine is that the filter pads I use are in the back corner and they are kind of a pain to change. I wish it was in the front.
Also, I don’t actually use the refugium any more. I had chaeto in there for a while, but it eventually died. I’m able to keep my nutrients under control by running my nano skimmer 6 hours a day. I don’t have any nuisance algae in my display. I wish I could grow chaeto to help raise my ph, but at this point it’s not worth the effort.
Cheato needs alot of iron and other micro nutritions, when the light setting were good, then are the nutritions the resonThe only thing I would really like to change about mine is that the filter pads I use are in the back corner and they are kind of a pain to change. I wish it was in the front.
