I always heard, Once you go drilled, you always get filled:shock:
Never needed to drill my 29 gallon tank. I know that my next tank will be at least 100 gallons and be drilled.
someone new to salt planing to build a sump+undergravel jets

Ok so I changed sump plans around some let me kow what yall think
this is going to be looking at sump
-grey is a 1262 Eheim pump for pumping water back to the tank
-red will be Eshopps 100 insump protein skimmer raised up about 4 in off base of the tank
-brown will be refugium
-light grey will be a peice of pvc with slits cut in side from a 90 deg elbow on bulkhead drain pipe (this might just turn into a filter sock from elbow)
and here is a top view of layout.

Switch the positions of the skimmer and refugium.
Skimmer -> refugium -> return
Skimmer -> refugium -> return

The other thing I would think of is all the livestock is generally used to flow coming from above, right? Would the undergravel jets cause issues with a CUC or sand moving livestock?

Yes,switch the fuge and skimmer around.You want the most raw water to the skimmer first.Something like this......

That looks good. Remember you may want to make a little more room for your return pump chamber since that's where the evaporation will show up, so if you have a larger area there will be less of a chance that your pump will run dry if you can't top off with fresh water for a while.
