Marc does have some awesome projects detailed.
I don't have any projects detailed but I did want to make mention of a couple of very important components for sumps.
1. Make sure that there is a chamber for the skimmer to set it that will always have the same water level. Flucuating water levels will impact the performance of an internal skimmer and a lot of frustration can be saved by designing your sump to have a steady section for it.
2. Do not under estimate the power of baffles. A series of at least 3 baffles (I always liked under, over, under) is important in removing microbubbles before making it to the return pump.
