direction of tank

+1 on most. The only thing I'd do different is I wouldn't put any live rock in the sump. It feels like a detritus trap. If you really want some surface area for bacteria, you can use bio pellets or there are some other choices.

I've tried sand and rock rubble and it was a mess. I only keep chaeto in my fuge and it's much cleaner and easier to maintain. Live rock was trapping so much garbage and the DSB was just useless.

I agree no live rock in sump. I put some in my sump n have a lot of waste trapped under it.
