Sump help

[hollywooddiver]

I posted this in my reef diary with not much response so I thought I would ask here. So I ordered a new sump tank. It's a 30g show. 36x16x12. I am gonna try my hand in putting in the baffles. We'll see how it goes. I added a picture to show you my idea on where and what I am doing. First baffle is 10" tall Where the DT with drain and the skimmer will be. Then it will go to the refug where the first set are 5 inches from the bottom then about a 1 or so inch gap then one to the top. Then on the other side of the refug, another that is 10" tall. Then one that is 2 inches off the bottom to go into the return pump chamber. tell me what you think.

On the panels you have going to the top, I would leave some head room for a "just in case" thing. If it ever had to it could flow over the bafles. I can't think of any good reason why in the he## it would ever happen, but you know.
