Sump Configuration on Nano Fusion 10g

[fu_iceman]

I'm curious how others have their sump configured, or if anyone has suggestions for improvement. See picture from left to right:
First chamber I have my custom caddy with the yellow mechanical sponge in the top chamber, chemipure blue (2 nano packets) in the second, and the third has the phosphate sponge.
Moving to the right, in the second chamber I have the ghost skimmer by itself.
In the third chamber, I have my heater buried near the return pump on the bottom. The return pump below it on the very bottom. On the top, I have my hydor ato sensors (left side), and a bag of matrix tied to the Kessil a80 mount which is on the far left.

Any feedback would be appreciated. 🤔

Switched up the items in my tray. Top chamber is 2 yellow mechanical sponges, middle is purigen, and bottom is a combo of matrix and 2 bags of chemipure blue nano.

I have a Nuvo 16gal with the first chamber - 200micron filter sock with added filter floss pads, second chamber is a cheap AF skimmer that I regret buying but still doing a decent job. 3rd chamber - is a bag of de-nitrate from Seachem and 4th - standard caddy with yellow mechanical sponge with additional thin film of filter floss pad(top), carbon sponge(mid), phosphate sponge(bottom).

Nice. Thanks for the reply. Do you have any water temp issues? I've added a fan to my mix to keep the temp on the low side of 78 degrees. Without the fan it was around 78.9. having good success with the current setup, but I did do a 20% change recently.

Well I live in the Philippines and it's always hot and humid so I bought a chiller to keep it down to around 76 to 78...where did you get your screen cover cause I've wanted to have one but unfortunately my many LFS don't sell any here.

It came with the tank, but also have the kit to make my own. I git the kit at the LFS, but they sell them at bulkreefsupply.

Btw, do you have an ATO's setup since you went with a massive fan to cool the aquarium and water depletes fast that way.
