I have read the first 10 pages of posts in this forum but I haven't found a specific answer. I have a 40 gallon breeder reef tank with a 20L sump i am setting up and I'm trying to get baffles cut right.
I know probably any of the solutions below will be good enough but I'm hoping to find the most optimal setup
Originally I was going to do a non Triton method and had glass cut for the following.
|Skimmer| 7" baffle| Refugium | 6" Over Under Over 3 baffle Bubble trap | Return|
Then I learned about the Triton method and now I cant decide how to place the baffles I don't want algae pouring over into the skimmer section. Should I add Teeth? (obviously its cheaper if I don't). Should I add egg crate or mesh (Seems like a junk catcher that could leech or just look ugly) Should baffles come to the top or be and inch from the top to allow emergency overflow?
| Refugium | 10 inch under Over Bubble trap | Skimmer | 7" Under Over Bubble Trap | Return|
or
| Refugium | 10" baffle plain or with teeth or mesh/egg crate | Skimmer | 7" Under Over Bubble Trap | Return|
Is there another combination I'm missing. I already had the glass cut once and I know once i silicone this stuff in I'm not going to change it so I would prefer to get it right this time.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
