New sump ideas help!!

[Ryanaquarium]

Hello guys i have a 180 gallon and i coverted a 40 gallon bredder into a sump but micro bubbles are there in my tank i attached a pic of my sump i doing external pumps this time and building an acrylic sump so can drill fornthe external pump, but need ideas so i can have an acrylic guy build it for me. Also my sump filter socks have a string to it so i need to hang them i used a valve in my drain so i can hold the socks since i build them and it comes out cheaper than to buy socks any help will be appreciated

It looks like the bubble traps are a little small. Try putting something in there to reduce bubbles. If you PM me I'll send pictures of what I use - not sure how to post on here.

I've added some foam filters when I had the same problem by the bubble traps and it worked for me. Just need to clean them out almost twice a week

filter floss will help pretty well
