Sump design....

[fattyratrat]

This is going to be my sump/fuge for my new setup. There will be two drain pvc pipes, and one return, splitting into three inside the display tank. I was also wondering if you think I am leaving enough space for the pipes to drain back down into the sump... Let me know what you guys think...

I don't see a protein skimmer in your drawing. That could be a problem.

no protenin skimmer chamber?

it sorta looks like mine
only the intake chamber is filled with small pieces of live rock the baffles have macro algae in them the refugium has 3 inches of sand i also have an HOB skimmer i forgot to mention hung on the intake chamber

yup alex, that is my exact plan, Aqua C Remora pro hanging in the intake section.

For baffles and dividers, how would you guys suggest measuring exactly how big the pieces need to be cut?
