Lets see your filter sock mounting rigs

[The Codfather]

Hey Robb,
I also have a sump made by Dave, here is a pic of what it looks like. It works very nice, I'll snap a few pics tonight, your welcome to stop by and have a look if you want, but the setup is quiet. The only change was the filter sock tray was lowered, so there was a lip to catch the water. I did mod mine a bit, I added a few peices of acrylic to hold the sock down firmly, so all the water would pass through the socks.
Its a great design, and Dave did a very nice job putting it together.

no it shouldn't have too, that's a lot of surface area there. the surface tension should keep the water from gushing over the baffle or add a slight angle to the baffle will help too

thanks

my only concern is wouldnt dietrus and other crap accumlate in that first chamber the overflow flows into? (in reference to CA's drawing and codfathers sump)
