we shall see.
, easy to remove if it fails, but thought I would test the idea. My return pump is 700gph and my overflow is 800-900gph

Looks like water level may force you to add flow from overflow towards middle of angle plate.
?? unsure of what you mean

From what I can tell from the picture, the normal operating water level will be just above the high refugium baffle plate. Which will leave at least 1/2 of the glass angel plate above water level. That means the overflow return flow will need to be moved closer to middle of angle plate to keep return flow underwater....

Ok I understand you now. The idea behind it was for noise and to keep the pipe above water level so that air can ecsape vs having to push it underwater, this keeps the flow with no Restrictions, that is the idea of it anyway. So the reason for the angle plate so the water will slide vs drop and splash. So I will test and see how it goes.

I would think at 11 1/2 gallons a minute your returning flow to sump it will be very noisy, & Also create a lot of air bubbles.
Unless pipe is submerged under the water.
I'm not trying to change your mind... Just food for thought. Test & see...
Maybe right I don't know
I though I would try it
the sump I saw this on was one bad ass sump fuge. But I like testing so it will be fun and it will be and easy fix if I don't like it.
I will post pics of it in motion. I will have it set up by tonight.

Since you're in a constructing mood, if you havent already, look into doing some sound reduction at the top end. After all this, the last thing you want is the dreaded "toilet" sound coming from the over flow.
There are mods you can do to the Standpipe that cost literally 5 bucks and cut the noise by 95 percent or more.

There are several out there...
Look up noisy standpipes..
One question though, how deep and wide is your overflow box? What size is the pipe inside the overflow box?
ok here is what I have.

Looks nice. I'd never thought about doing an angle piece before but it makes sense to me. I'm sure your DIY sump was a ton cheaper than my sump that I had built locally and it will probably perform just as well. Good job.

Yep, VB as well for me. I'm just off Rosemont Rd and 264. Are you a member of any of the local reef clubs or forums as well? We have a couple to choose from.
