![]() Rick this kind of design would solve my problem of my return pump not being in the middle of my stand like I want. As well I could make my overflow line's the same lenght. I would like to keep my sump under 47" long so if I need to pull it out from under the tank I can as my stand is going to be a steel frame with removable 1/2" oak panel's & doors on all 4 sides.

Let me know how it goes. How was the bike show? I missed it last weekend here in Calgary, wanted to go. I am getting the itch to ride. Hey, if you have a bike, we should get together during the season for a jont or 2.

Didn't make it to the Calgary or Edmonton show but I am involved in the Red Deer show all weekend. Friday & today where good, one more day to go. I actually have 2 bike's, 2000 Honda Magna 750 & 2008 Harley Sportster Roadster that I won in 2007. I am the Red Deer coordinator for the Alberta Ride For Sight, this is my 10th yr. This years ride is going to the Stony Nakota Resort & Casino 30 min West of Calgary you should come. I will be posting more about that soon. I am getting that same itch as my riding season was cut short last year with arm surgury. The snow can't leave fast enough for me.

![]() Here is another design, don't have any fancy drafting program only this stupid paint program.
Water enters in the top left compartment with LR, flows clockwise into Refugium, then 1st skimmer & bubble trap, into 2nd skimmer & bubble trap, into PhosBan Reactor compartment and finally return compartment full with LR. Pump in return compartment supplies 30w UV and returns into first compartment. BLUE DOT'S = Supply Pump RED DOT'S = Skimmer's BLACK DOT"S = Reactor's GRAY OVAL = UV Second drawing show's baffles from the back of sump, Third drawing show's baffels from the front. ![]()

![]() better to have your baffles Over/under/Over than Under/Over/Under The more the water has to move up, the more chances for bubbles to rise to the surface and escape

![]() Ok I fixed my crappy little drawing that I did on paint to show the baffle's going the right way. So some feedback now would be great because I am getting some quote's for acrylic. 1st quote from GE Ploy is cheaper then the glass shop here in Red Deer.
