Sump Baffles

[Johnny Reefer]

Brad: Thanx for the tip re: silicone worries.

Steve: Thanx for the pics. Is the corner box where you put your return pump?

The reason I am going with just one set of baffles, and thus two chambers, is that I do not want to have to rely on the auto top off to replenish more than one chamber while I am out of town. If I went with 3 chambers and the top off water didn't replenish high enough to flow over into the 3rd chamber (for whatever reason) I'd be screwed. If my return pump is in the same chamber that the top off feed comes in then that is one less thing to worry about.
I don't want to get too involved with this. It's basically a result of overheating I had two weeks ago, which constituted the need to remove my glass tops, which in turn created the need for an auto top off due the the expected increase in evaporation, which in turn created the decision to go with a sump to accept the top off water.
I want to go with just live rock in the second (return) chamber and I'll run a canister filter off to the side for Chemi-Pure, carbon and such.

Thanx again,
