Frag Tank/ Sump Design Questions

[Bacchus_fl]

Alright I have decided to put this extra 55G I have to use. I have a large pantry located directly behind my display and I am going to set the 55G up as a sump/ frag tank. The main purpose for this it 3 fold, !. I need a gorw out area for frags, 2. I just purchased Brians ETSS skimmer and need a place to install it and 3. It will give me easier access to equipment than the fuge under my tank.

I wanted to make sure I design the baffles right and wanted to see if their are any clever ideas out there for making this as efficient as possible. I am doing this today so if you have anything to offer please let me know as soon as you can.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much room do you need for the skimmer? What type (internal or extermal) of return pump?

The skimmer will be extrenal and the pump is a mag 12 which will be submerged.

Just make sure there's enough distance between the baffles so you can get something, scraper etc. to clean in there.
