Nope, ACL reconstruction was today. Tank will have to wait for a bit now. I have to add some risers in the overflow box to keep the tank from draining down to the bottom of the weir teeth. That overloads the sumps. Way too much water goes down the emergency drain. I think raising the overflow box level should fix that. What do you think Steve?

As for the baffle situation, I am hoping that the lower sump return pump adds enough volume to the pump chamber to reduce the distance the water drops from the frag section to the pump chamber. Maybe that will alleviate the bubbles, yes no? If not I tried holding some fluval foam just under the water level in the pump chamber and it dissipated the bubbles before they entered the chamber. If that's the way to go I need to make some sort of a foam holder that hangs on to the baffle edge.

I really won't know until I get my other pump running and see if the increase in pump chamber water height solves the bubbles.

What do you guys/gals think?
