Now how do you get those little wooden blocks out of the baffles? ;) Bet your hands don't fit in there.

all my water to the sump enters in the corner box I made, it spills over this into the first chamber whare a magdrive 12 will suck water from the sump to the beckett skimmer and return back into the the corner box. (box acts as a primary bubble remover)

what doesent get sucked up for the skimmer goes throught the first set of baffles throught the middle chamber (I can use this for rock, or frags) then through the second set of baffles whare a mag drive 12 or 18 (havent decided yet) will suck it up to return it to the tank.

the corner box idea that all my returns will spill into was a sugestion from Darren. It made sence so I did it, the idea is that all the water dumping in to a area will have lots of bubbles, this first wall it has to pass over will remove a lot of bubbles right off the bat and my skimmer pump will suck water instead of a water/bubble mix.

clear as mud? [img]smile.gif[/img]
