BUILT IN SUMP

Pretty weak description..but, a filter is a filter
Normal filter media stack would be something to trap debris before it gets to your bio media.
Filter floss, sponge, etc.
Make this stuff as easy to remove as possible, for cleaning/changing.
From those basics, you can expand...
Not knowing if you have any built in dividers in this sump or if you have a drilled tank does limit any specific answer.

Looks pretty good. Just put some mechanical filter material over the drip plate (one with holes), not in with the biomedia and you should be ready to go.
I think it looks fine. There is plenty of space for more bio balls though might help but looks like a potentially great setup.
Oh..mas cool!!!
Dual filtration..other than how far away from the wall this needs to be, I like it..
Only thing I would do, would be to make a holder for your mech. media..the stuff before the bio balls, that will filter the crud out before it gets to your balls...dirty balls do not help anyone or anything...
With a holder, you can just pull it all out, together for cleaning or replacement.
