Here's some pictures of the sump and how I want to redesign it.
Overall sump setup.
They partioned off the middle and return section so they are the same size, but with the addition of the baffles in the middle section it's only 6.5" wide while the return section is 13. If I move the baffles closer to the return section(only making the return section 5" wide I can increase the fuge section to 13".
Here you can see there is the drain section which flows into the skimmer section and also out into the middle section. I want to close off the under section going into the second section and partition off the drain so it can only flow up and over a filter sock, then down into the skimmer section.
Here is the middle section with the under - over -middle section - over - under - return.
I want to remove the one over baffle coming from the skimmer section, and move over the other baffles while adding a third over baffle so I have a more traditional over - under - over - return.
I will say this sump is built like a brick isht house. Its easily 60 pounds of solid glass.
