DIY Sump Question

Planing to build my own sump/refugium for a new 90 gallon and had a question about a sponge filter. If I incorporate a 2" wide sponge into a bubble trap (after the refugium and before the return pump) would that trap the pods I would be growing in the fuge from entering the DT or do you think they would make it through?

Sponge even nessesary? I thought it would be good to capture anything that may pass through the fuge...
 
If you keep the flow through the sump low you would not have to worry about micro bubbles. That is if your skimmer is designed well.

As far as chemical filtration I like the pura pads on egg crate http://premiumaquatics.com/aquatic-supplies/MN-4098.html

This allows for great gas exchange and in the summer i put a small fan over it to lower the temp a couple degrees.

Under this I have live rock rubble
