Oh...I left out part of the drawing  The emergency overflow is plumbed directly to the sump. Above the water level so that if its ever kicked in, you would hear the splashing and know something is wrong. I only have one GSP and hes about 4.5" without the tail. Hes been getting very fat lately though. I think he needs a diet! Hes in a tank by himself and this new tank is for my Porcupine and a school of blue chromis. I like having the one puffer as the center piece and then a bunch of "schooling" fish as kind of a "filler" (dont know what else to call them).

What would you guys recommend for baffles in a rubbermaid type container? Would acrylic still work well?
Also, Im still trying to find the containers...Anyone know a place in Vancouver with really good selection of Food grade rubber containers? Need to be food safe of course and I prefer clear. Thanks.

Not sure how many food grade clear plastic containers you can find, especially ones that hold water. You could try some sort of weld-on to attach the baffles. But the fit isn't going to be that great unless you cut it very carefully; the plastic tubs are all weird shaped.
If you have the money, time and skill, consider getting some glass cut and siliconing yourself a sump. It would be the exact dimensions you need and you could do all the baffles at the same time.

Yeah the baffles in a rubbermaid container seem like more trouble than anything. I think I may rethink my sump. I actually have a few empty 33G tanks that would work, I just did not want to have to try drilling them. Might save me some trouble in the end though and would look nicer!
I will take pics of my GSP as soon as I can...I have no camera now. I can try with my camera phone though. Hes been a very healthy and tough GSP...Gone through ich twice and now even if other fish get ich, he NEVER does! He was also bit really badly on his belly a few months ago and it healed amazingly. I am very impressed with how tough their skin really is. I would guess its because it can stretch so well. I have never seen his puff up yet and Ive had him three years. My porcupine seems to puff up a few times a week for no apparent reason besides maybe wanting attention because he does it when Im watching the tank.

Some Porcs have been known to puff up for practice/attention. Does your's spit at you?
Sweet, can't wait for the pics. Pics for both please! Pm SeaHorse_Fanatic, I think he has some glass drill bits, and will drill the tanks for a minor fee. Do you have your GSP in marine sg now?

My porc spits with ridiculously good aim...He has spat right into my mouth twice now. My GSP is in marine. He has been for about a year now and hes actually gotten brighter and more active. He seems to be doing very well in full marine. I got him in frashwater of course, even though he was already a bit big to still be in freshwater

Yeah! As soon as I have the new tank up your welcome to come by. I will let you know. How many puffers do you have? You mentioned the Celyons...any others? Where did you get yours? I have not seen very many Ceylons around Vancouver before.

Is the second overflow plumbed into the sump as well then too? it wasn't connected to anything in the pic.
