    go to this website: /www.melevsreef.com Mark has some really good info on sumps and fuges. you will want to put sand in your fuge so your critters have a place to live. Also you will want ot put some live rock and some cheato in there also. the live rock will help with filtration and the cheato works great for nutrient export.

    hope this helped
