I'm using a 40 gallon breeder and bought the Tenecor drop in baffle kit. I don't know what order they are supposed to be placed in, no instructions provided. I plan for first chamber to be skimmer, then refugium, then return. Not planning to use socks. There is one baffle with horizontal slats, one with vertical slats top only, and one solid. The solid baffle would make the highest water level it appears. Can anyone help me figure out what order to silicone these in? Thanks!

^ That will work. You may want to add a black filter sponge in-between the two baffles by the return pump (will dampen the sound and trap anything large before it gets to the return pump).
