Hello all :)

Getting closer to building the sump time :D

I have a tank that i will add baffles to, from what i read baffles should be 1" apart and 1" from the bottom of tank.
i was thinking of making the smaller baffles 27cm in height for a bubble magus nac 6 or 7 skimmer.
The taller baffles i don't know what height to put them, what determines there height?

Do you think i should build a topup chamber on the end of the sump or just add one and make it out of a jerry can or something? leaving more room for live rock (what's best rock or miracle mud or ?) or equipment etc in sump.

I have come up with a couple of ideas if you could all let me know where i maybe going wrong and anything i should add / take off..

Display tank is a converted fluval roma 240 L with 2 x flow to sump and 1 x return to display.

Be gentle i'm still a marine n00b and never had a sump before! :laugh:
