Ok I have a 38g Aqueon Tank inside dimensions 11 3/4" W x 34 1/2" L x 18 3/4" Tall 3/8" Wall thickness. I want a 3 Chamber Sump with refugium in middle chamber. I want to get glass cut tommorrow I figure I need 3/8 glass to be safe for divider.
A little more info Chamber 1 will house intakes and a iTech 100 skimmer which will take up 11"x12" I plan on using Chamber 3 for a ehiem 1262 or rio 3100 return.
My question If I place a Divider at 12" in first chamber from bottom up how tall should that chamber be? I will have 4 more dividers after that chamber 2 I would assume it should be same height as chamber 1. Then I want to run bubble chambers leading to chamber 3. For 3rd divider it will come from top down how much room should I leave open at bottom the 4th divider will determine water height in 3rd chamber return pump how much water does it need to hold how heigh should I make this chamber. Hope this makes sense any helps appreciated....
