Hello!
Curious to know if anyone has an opinion on this. I am building my own sump with sheets of acryclic glued into a 29 gallon tank. It’s going to be super simple, essentially a mimic of sump designs I have seen and uses, but one dimension I am unsure of. Once the water goes over the first baffle, how much space should I leave between the second baffle and the bottom of the tank? I was thinking one inch, but was curious if there is a reason to make it more or less. As you can see in my super technical diagram, the acryclic dividers are 12’ and the tank itself is 18’. I want extra empty space in the sump for protection against pump failure/electrical outage, which is why I went with 12’.
thanks!
