Mr. Microscope Posted December 20, 2014 If you only have two chambers, I'd skip the fuge and put the skimmer in the first one. A skimmer should have a constant water height in order to function properly. Unless you're planninng to install an ATO, the water level in your second chamber will not be consistent due to evaporation. Quote Link to comment
ajmckay Posted December 20, 2014 +1 to Mr. M. It's tough to design a sump... How big of a skimmer will you have? If it's an HOB style you could get away with things as you have them. The only addition I think would be beneficial would be to add a bubble trap of sorts instead of just the single baffle. Quote Link to comment
alanwest09872 Posted December 20, 2014 I am actually just getting ideas right now. Trying to work out before the 24th Quote Link to comment
ajmckay Posted December 22, 2014 Did you post a thread? Put one up and then you can get some ideas. Unfortunately unless you copy a design or buy one designing a sump can be quite an involved process depending on what you want to do. It's also something that can go horribly wrong if not enough thought goes into it. Quote Link to comment
