New Sump/Fuge Idea - Opinions Please!

OK so my sump isn't working out, see here: http://www.3reef.com/forums/filters-etc/sump-falling-apart-43759.html

What do you guys think of this layout?



The overflow is built in and the tank is drilled on the bottom, so that's where the outlet/return are coming/going.

 

If your problem is that the return line from the fuge is moving water to fast why not just throw in a ball valve and adjust the water flow from there?

 

No that's not my problem, the problem is that the combination sump/fuge I built already is falling apart. See my other thread for details. So I'm separating the two.

 

The fuges pump will run the fuge dry and burn up. Drill a hole in the top side of the tank and let it feed back to the sump by gravity. You won't need any pump just set the tank up a little higher then the sump.
