need some creative sump ideas

[superclown]

I am trying to build my sump I have a rs 100 that for those of you that do not know what it looks like its 24x16x12 widel. Has a spot for 7" filter sock over open area and then a smaller chamber on right divided by 2 partitons. I have enough room under my stand to fit 2 of these so my thoughts were I would build a second area that would bring the sump out to 24x16x24 so I can incorperate a full front fuge I got a 150g sump for scrap acrylic im just having a hard timecoming up with a good design I also have.to have a spot for my skimmer to sit in that's a aqua c ev 180

can't that skimmer be run out of sump? (that's what I'd do) and use the rest of the space under your tank for reactors and controllers..

Edit: back left skimmer, front fuge, back right return, middle ato

Im thinking I got enough clearance I may build a shelf above my sump to sit the skimmer on so I had thought of that too. I am just not sure if I am going to benefit more from a large fuge area or a smaller sump with media reactors. Im trying to have my cake and eat it to if possible.

I may just set te skimmer behind the tank as it wouldnt be seen

I'd include a reservior for ato with at least a weeks worth of water.
