My 75 Gallon, Start to Finish....

Tony, not a bad start. As for the sump, I don't see why you need to have your overflow run into 'A' and then a bubble trap. If you move your skimmer to 'A' (and adjust the baffles accordingly) then have your bubble trap, you will utilize your space more efficiently. As a matter of fact, if you were to split your overflow with a pvc wye and run 1/2 to the right side of your drawing (a fuge) and have your return pump in the middle chamber you can fit everything into this one tank.

Hope that was clear.

I'm with Russ. Move the skimmer into compartment A and move the two baffles to where the 'lone' baffle is. Keep it just like that low, high, low(How you have it). Other than that it looks like a good plan to me. I'm just worried about how much flow your gonna have coming out of each return.

Personally I think its gonna be close to nothing, I have a mag 7 coming through 1 return line and its not strong at all IMO. Keep it to 1 return spout so you get more from it. Just what I would do.

LMAO @ Kris......you're on a roll tonight!


You don't need a bubble trap coming out of the fuge. Just one baffle from the bottom up to the height you want the fuge level at. Bada Bing Bada Boom, done!

Oh, and make sure you don't use a 'T' on your overflow. Use a wye. Why? Wye, you say. Because we like you!!!!

You also need to add one more baffle to the skimmer side. On the center chamber add one more from the bottom up. This will give you a better constant level in your return chamber.

In the center chamber, where you have your return pump. Add one more baffle (to make three) on the skimmer side of the sump. Make the baffles, over, under & over.

Is that better now :kiss:

Nooooooooo. You still didn't remove the baffle from the fuge side. You don't need one from the top down. :irked:
