Plan to use a 100g rubbermaid sump. How do those who use these control microbubbles without being able to install baffles?
 
Another tank or plastic container placed in the sump- in which to locate your skimmer and drain from the tank- can work pretty well- the water spills over the top into the rubber maid.
 
I'm using a 100 gallon as my sump in the basement. Don't use any kind of baffles, socks, etc. and I don't have any problems with micro-bubblles:

I don't use one either in my 100 gal. It's big enough all the bubbles get to the top pretty quickly.
 
Here is what one RC member (stan zemanek) does. I'm thinking of using this method as well. Looks easy, effective and neat.

I do mine like this.
The white stuff around the edge is dead corraline, not salt creep. I try to keep it circling clockwise.
The PVC tube is the overflow. The red 1/4" tube is the effluent from the Kalk Reactor. The return pumps are on the right side. Thelittle white thing on the right is the float valve fed by the RODI unit.

Where can i get a rubber maid tub this heavy duty?

Farm supply store like Tractor Supply or Orscheln (sp?). Maybe a feed store.
