Well, yes, I would have made the baffles a bit more even as far as the overall height is concerned. The good thing is, they're easy enough to make and you can keep making new alterations based on lessons learned. That sump will yield increased Salt-Creep, but should function properly otherwise. Here's a look at my latest design which has been in operation since Dec, 2007. I am happy with this sump, and have little in the way of future modification needs. Quote: |

travelling through it thus allowing for more of the finer micro bubbles to
stay within the covered chamber. It also allows for easier cleaning of that
section. The Flex-hose in the return section should eliminate noise
transfer from the return pump. Suction cups were also installed on the
base of the return pump to reduce noise transfer. Ive also incorporated a
filter sock and bracket to reduce the detritus build-up in the sump. and
finally, the tank was upgraded to a 30 gallon long, allowing for 33% larger
chambers.  | |
