Sump set up help. If you could change anything in your sump what would it be?

Hey guys. I've been passionate about reef tanks since I first saw (what I now know to be a very poor tank) saltwater tank. I've had a few small set ups and I was out of the hobby for a few years.
I since thought I'd buy a small redsea max 130. Big mistake because now I'm hooked again.
I decided I really wanted to build it all myself. I'm amazed how far the hobby has come.
Just wanted some input on things you'd like to change in yours and things I should consider.
I've put I picture Of the build so far
