Here are the pictures of what I have done with the cooler. The sump lid contains 2-18" florescent grow lights (although I think 1 will be enough) and the biggest computer fan I could find which is pulling air into the sump. The sump has 3 partitions and a bubble trap; one for the skimmer with the water line from the tank, the 12-gallon refugium, and a cavity for the heater/ return pump.
I haven't ever posted pictures on this site and it seems a little funky, but I included them in an attachment. The sump looks inaccessible, but the lid lifts up and clips into the ceiling of the cabinet so it actually gives me a lot of room to get into the sump and work without having to remove anything except the skimmer cup. All in all I think the setup looks pretty clean and I'm pretty happy with it. Now I just need to find out how to get 75 gallons of water from the basement into the tank... After my T-Day break. Happy Thanksgiving everybody.
