I'm not sure how you hope to work your carbon resevoir. There is a good likely
hood that the water will pour right over the carbon, rather than flow through
it, but you didn't include any specific details to that zone.

The final baffle before the pump could be as tall as the inner one (12") which
gives you a little more water in the return zone. Which allows for more time &
evaporation to occur. One person's sump currently is so small that she has to
top off 3 times a day. Might as well install an auto top-off device than put up
with that!

Other than that, I think it should work out quite nicely.
