Just set-up sump/refugium.....sound okay???

This is for my 55gl. reef. with a 75 gl. wet/dry sump.

Does this sound okay????:rolleyes:

 

I put 1" layer of live sand from the 10gl. in my sump,

5 lbs. of live rubble rock I had,

1 lb. of grape macroalgae and alot of small snails.

I placed a 28watt 50/50 coralife over it.

 

I didnot put in a divider, instead I raised the pump with a suction cup harness. Plus I raised the water level up in the sump as high as I could with the power turned off, leaving a 1" head space for power failures.

Is this okay? Do I need to add something else? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance ;)

It isnot as messy as the pic shows, but you get the general idea. Now just to figure out what to do with the dead space of the bioball compartment. I thought about taking out the grid and cutting the top housing cover in order to make room for protein skimmer. But I would first have to install some acrylic for the water level in that area. Anyone have any input on a better idea or suggestions?
