I split my sump into sections as probably most do. The water hits the skimmer first. I stacked rock rubble in this section to provide a place for pods and sponges to help filter what the skimmer does not. From there it goes into my 5" sugar sized DSB/Cheato section. I like this setup because while the DSB can process detrius, the skimmer takes some out first (but not nearly all of it). This provides nutrients for the DSB creatures, but not too much. Eventually I would like to go skimmerless, or at least reduce it to 12 hours a day. I don't have an all SPS tank.
