It looks fine to me. Do you get microbubbles in your tank because the refugium dumps right where the return pump is?

Agreed...looks good...are you planning a fuge for the little tank on the far right...or just trying to do a RDSB?

Actually as I look at it again, I do have a suggestion...It appears your overflow from the display dumps straight into the "fuge". You may find this to be a problem for detritus collection since you have sand in it. My suggestion would be to either put a sock on the inlet from the display or (even better IMO) would be to dump all the water from the overflow into the skimmer section, then use a small pump to feed the water to the fuge from the return pump section.
