I have my drain really close to my return pump and the fine sock catches air bubbles as well keeping them from the pump.
Ya, I'd love to be able to do that, but then I'd lose my return volume. I only have a 50g to work with. I'm still toying with the idea of ripping the baffles out and starting over.
