New tank/refuge/pump.

Im am starting up a 35 gallon tank and have decided I want to do this right from the get-go. Im putting a 15 gal sump/refuge under my tank for extra filtration and the #1 reason to have my skimmer equipment out of view and not taking up space in my tank. My question is, if I wanted to go extreme, would it be feasible to put all of my equipment into the refuge. Such as my otb filter, UV sterilizer, thermostat. That way all you see in my tank will be fish and the inlet outlet tubes for the refuge. Has anyone else done this? Thanx in advance for the responses.

with a skimmer and a refuge I dont think you will even need the OTB filter. Everything else sounds fine and is what I would do.
