Thanks for the help. Also, thank you sirreal63 for your crude, yet crucial way of pointing out the consequences of setting up the system I had planned. I have been to Mark's website many times and have even talked to him via email. I'll email my tank maker to ask if he can add an overflow box to my tank when we go pick my sump up. Do you think I need to holes in the overflow for sump/filter intake or can I get away with one intake with a T-valve? Also, I need something like a loose mesh to go in my refugium to keep any macro from entering the pump reservior. Any suggestions?

There are many ways to set up the overflow, you should discuss it with the tank maker and get his advice as it will matter how wide the overflow is as to how many holes he can safely make. For the fuge try using gutter mesh from the hardware store, just make sure it is the plastic variety. Sorry for being harsh but we covered using a cannister filter like that months ago and thought you understood why it won't work. You have a habit of not listening to or understanding the advice you get, none of us want to see your tank fail.
