Your name choices are awesome!

Thank you! Sometimes I just look at them and a name pops in my head. My clowns where original Sunny and Cher but then when the male started being mean I changed them.
 
Sort of. I have a sump underneath that isn't really for display. It has some critters that were causing problems in the display tank. I have a separate 90 gallon tank plumbed into the system which has rock, sand, and my son's white spotted hermit. It is fed by the pvc manifold which splits my returns, but its overflow is a 2" pvc pipe that goes to the display
Thanks for the response Wes. I agree that this is a really cool way to extend the hobby. It's kind of making me rethink my "no sump" policy.

My question is do we have to have the baffles in the sump?
 
Good morning everyone. This afternoon I go for the steroid epidural shot in my back I really hope it gets rid of the pain in my back.
Me too Amanda. Keep us posted plz?
 
My question is do we have to have the baffles in the sump?
Only if you need to maintain a specific water level for something like a protein skimmer.

Or as a method of chemical, biological or mechanical filtration.
