I would say keep it simple as possible. If you are going to a CL system simular to Melv then use a smaller pump on the fuge to reduce the amout of water flow in there (fuge flow). Use the largest amout of pump you can with the SCWD due to the amout of water flow that it knocks down. I have the same type CL running on my 37g cube and it is not as strong as without the SCWD. You will loose 30-40% easy. I made mine up with a SEIO 620 and the return pump (Fluval 405 canister filter). Of course water flow should be determined by the type of corals you want to keep. If you have commited to this design and really like it, then I say time will tell and keep an open mind to ideas that may help in the future. If you have only just started playing with ideas, then do some research on tanks that are already up and running. There is a guy tha builds the section to fit the Oceanics 30 and 37, he also builds custom sumps. Your design looks good, just keep an open mind and be willing to change things if they dont work as you wish. Keep us posted.
