25 gallon reef

Just a question, but why did you not make the baffle's for your fuge section a little higher? If you are going to do a herbie style overflow (which i assume you are with the 2 holes drilled) the water level will be low, defeating the purpose of a herbie, or are they there just to hold mud etc, and you will bring the water level up?

the reasoning for the baffles consists of:

-less bubbles
-if they weren't there the overflow box would probably fall off

dont forget i can adjust the water level with the gate valve on the herbie, and i plan to have one standpipe very short
