Sump help

[gregzz4]

Shao, if he has room for the skimmer and return together in one chamber, there's a chance of micro bubbles ...

Another option would be to use a HOB 'fuge with a powerhead or such to fill it. A small 'fuge would be easy to clean out when removed thus elimating a messy sump cleanup headache
With this idea, trapezoid is tank drain ( and socks if desired )
Left is skimmer and right is return
No baffle mods needed
