Will This Ref/Sump work?

Hey, Just threw this together. I think it would work well. It will be a 29 gal for a 120 gallon tank. I assume I need a mag 7 pump. Water/ Skimmer etc will be towards the left and flow out the right. *Suggestions??? *I know it's small but I already have the tank so I should be better than nothing Thanks *

Opps here's the design

Looks ok to me. Are you adding all those baffles to keep bubbles from returning to the tank? Seems like a lot to me, but if you have the room I guess.

I would change the baffels so that the last one would force the water to the top. This would help eliminate more bubbles before returning to pump.

Hey, thanks for the replies. I will probably only have room for two baffles. So, you say I should end on an up one? Sounds good. I will need about 9inches for my new skimmer (foot print is 8.5"x10&quot

then the rock, algae, etc. Baffles, and Pump. Can I keep the space for the pump just a little bigger than the pump itself to utlize more space for the rock? Thanks!

I'd leave enough room to manhandle it now and then.
