hey gang,
Considering building vs buying a sump for my 120 gal. If I go the build route I suspect I'd use a 40 gal breeder and place some glass baffles.. I have a Somatic 60 return pump module that I picked up unused in a package craigslist deal and I was wondering if I could place that in the 40B and forgo putting a baffle/chamber for the return pump. Just let the return pump module be the last "chamber". Hopefully this makes sense.. Good or bad idea? Any insight would be appreciated.

cheers!
 
Sounds good:)
