![]() This is basically my sump.
I double baffled all chambers and force the water to go under the first baffle then back to the top and over. Here's a shot from early set up. ![]() Easy design for maintenance also. You won't regret a simple sump.

![]() this is how i designed the sump for my 50g and will most likely do it again but on a larger scale for my upgrade of my 90g.. where the water comes in a have a chamber for filter floss to reduce the amount of crud before skimmer. then skimmer then return area. my goal was to have as large of a return area as possible so i dont have to top up as often since auto top off is not an option on either tank the only change will be adding a carbon section. i can go 3 days tho without adding water.

![]() That's a great design, i like the floss on the tank return. I wish i made room for adding filter socks, i have them stuffed arounf the skimmer, it works, but a pain. More reason for movable baffles :P

![]() I love it! What's the reason that you double baffled each chamber?
