    As the time nears for me to get a tank (i'm setting up a 125 for my brother while I do my 50-75 gallon at the same time) I'm wondering about the sump.

    Tank -> sump with bioballs submerged ( to act like LR ) -> skimmer (DC will be in this area too) -> UV -> Fuge -> baffles (filled with bioballs [ to act like LR ] ) -> Tank.

    Is the UV filter a good idea?

    I figure if it does kill some good microbes, the Fuge should replenish them.

    Is the general design good? I have my fuge design in this thread here http://www.3reef.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Refugium;action=display;num=1091405856
