She's always starting something. It's nice when it's something helpful. 😂

I'm not really sure what I can do to make mine more effective other than drain it and do the baffles different but then I would have to be without a sump for a good while so that the silicon can cure...
i cannot recall but can you please give the size of your sump?

That first statement is like the pot calling the kettle black my friend!
And the sump is a 55 gallon DIY sump that holds about 30 gallons.

Can we get pictures under white light and what’s your parameters?
 
Wow you have a lot of small sections! Is that better you think than having larger sections?
It seems to be working, the one on the right is for ro/di water for the ATO.

Maybe give a little thought to making a new sump. 55's are relatively inexpensive and then you could get a baffle kit.

I may do that in the future if haven't even thought about just replacing it. Lol

Somthing else to give thought to is looking on FB Marketplace. I see sumps there, of all sizes, on the regular.
