Now accepting brilliant ideas!!

[Aquattro]

For partitioning my sump. It's 5ft long, 2ft tall, and 18" wide. I'll want to use a filter bag for input, my Euroreef sits in there somewhere, a float valve for auto-topoff and a heater. And I guess a small power head to feed the reactor.
I've always done various baffles with chambers, but this is a clean tank, never baffled ,so I'm wondering if someone has better ideas than me (no cheap shots on that, k? ) Thanks

What's the footprint of the skimmer?

roughly 9x12 with all the plumbing and pump

Here's my submission:



Basically water flows in a "U" shaped pattern. I put an elevation sketch so you can see how the center baffle/partition works. The skimmer in theory could drain back over the center partition and back into the filter sock chamber. I use to run a sump just like this when I had my other tank set up. Works very well and can handle a lot of flow if required.

Why not skip the baffles all together and just use a filter sock defuss the bubbles from the return and the skimmer
