I am going to buy the glass to baffle a 29 gallon tank into a sump.
The first chamber that the water enters will house the skimmer. After raising the skimmer 4-5 inches, I have about 3 inches to work with to remove the collection cup, maintenance, etc... That will create a baffle at 11" to overflow into a return area, with bubble trap. Is 11" enough height on the first baffel?
I am going to use a mag 9.5 as a return pump. How much area do I need to have a sufficient return chamber? How tall should the baffle be for the return area?
The third chamber will be a refugium. With the tank being 18" tall, can the glass baffle for the refugium that the water will flow over into the return area be set at 17"?
