ok so i purchased my first large aquarium a 180 gallon acrylic tank 60x30x24. i want to build a sump for it from a spare 29g tank i have. heres the design i have, will it work well for a pretty decent bio load? right now i have 6 adult discus, 1 geo altifron, 4 bolivian rams, 16 lemon tetras, and 2 plecos. i plan on getting a few more discus more altifrons, juruparis, 3 plecos, and more lemons. will this design be sufficient for that amount of fish? im looking for yours guys opinion, if you have input go ahead and say.

I personally dont think that 29G is a large enough sump for a 180. I think minimum you need AT LEAST 50G. My 180 has a 60g sump. On another note, your layout should work fine.
