The reef sump is an existing sump that already has 3 baffle sections in it. Each baffle section actually has 3 baffles. Left baffle was a refugium but really it just stores live rock now. Middle is the return (which will be reused), and the right is the skimmer section. I may redo that entire sump or just keep it. The baffles in the FOWLR sump serves no purpose. I'm not sure why I drew that line in.. :-) The FOWLR will just have one main sump which will hook into the reef sump via a 1 1/2 or 2" pipe, and a water change tank which will over flow into the fowlr sump.
