Lfs And Contradicting Info

Yes i did use the tropical water, but only about two thirds as some was taken to transport the tropical fish that were in the tank. In the five years this tank was running i never once had to use meds, i think i was very lucky, i had deaths and sick fish but after they were removed or isolated i never had to medicate the main tank.
 
This is my current plan,

I know that the refugium is supposed to 10% but without all the pieces to put in the sump i hav'nt got anything yet. and the new skimmer still not arrived yet either.

anyway partition 1 contains the gravity flow in, the filter floss and LR pieces and the skimmer.
Partition 2 is the Refugium
saparating partition 2 and 3 is a bubble trap
Partition 3 is for the return pump

All the volumes

Display 175 ltrs 38.5 gal
Sump 31.46 ltrs 6.92 gal
Refugium 15.73 ltrs 3.46 gal this is 8.99% of the display tank volume

What do you think.

Looks good too me :)

Just make sure you leave enough room to be able to get to your skimmer and return pump without too much hassle.
 
The pump will be at the back of the cupboard which is open and the skimmer will front so thats easy to access by opening the door.

Cool :) wish my sump was that easy to work in. Mine is too deep and too close to the bottom of the tank stand so its a complete nightmare to get to the skimmer and return pump :)
