sump help

[Chrispar]

this is what im working with.

standard 10g as the sump

3g acrylic cube as fuge.

I plan on drilling the 3 and having it gravity fed into the sump.

what Im wondering is. what is the best way for me to set up my baffles?

how many should i have? i was thinking of using flextube to get the water from the fuge to dump right below the fuge and having the flow going left to right through the sump.

Lemme know what you think. I am open to all suggestions.

whoops i meant right to left.

Are you going to have a skimmer in the sump or just use it for extra volume? Either way I would say at least 2 baffles to control micro bubbles from the return pump.

Just 2 baffles as muddyblue said. I have 3 in my sump and over, then under, then over again and have noticed that bubbles will not go under the 2nd baffle and instead get pulled down about an inch and then float up and burst after the first.

that idea is out since im doing a pretty decent upgrade, Im going with a 40 gallon breeder as my DT and using my 30 as the sump so im gonna be doing a completely different sump setup. Thanks for the help though it is appreciated.
