i like those trigger systems sumps. My next tank will be using one of their sumps if i don't have a custom one built by custom king on Manhattan Reefs
 
I like to keep my sumps as simple as possible. They are typically just a rectangular tank either glass or acrylic with no baffles or chambers. It gives me the maximum amount of flexibilty if I want to change or need to replace equipment down the road.

Baffles make the water flow faster if they are to close together. If the far enough apart to slow the flow down then there usually isn't enough room for equipment.

If you definitely want a refugium in your sump you can always just put a smaller tank inside the sump.
