I like it!

The only thing that I would really try to change would be to
try and get a bigger sump and incorporate the skimmer into
the sump. The way you have it layed out can work but leaves
open more oppurtunities for flooding.

turn your sump around, since your using gravity to get water from your skimmer to your sump its free

your pump hoses are to long equaling a lose in flow so you will need a more powerfull pump then the mag 5, heck i have a mag 2400 giving me around 800 gal into my 125 gal tank
