I've done my fair share of scanning for this info so figured it is time to post! I have a 30g display and am setting up a 40g breeder for my sump.
Here are a few questions I still have.
1 - With my sump being in basement and water flowing from the floor above, what are people doing with the return line heading into the fuge? I've seen a picture of a horizontal bar with holes cut out, not sure if this is norm or not. Or do i just have it flow from pvc directly in (if so do i angle it up, down, towards a wall, towards the next chamber)?
2- Do I need teeth into my skimmer section? I have not seen any photos with teeth going into the skimmer section. Is there a worry that the macro will just flow over my baffle into skimmer section?
3- Do i need to use a multi baffle bubble trap method? My current plan was to have 3 baffles between fuge and skimmer (flush to bottom,.25" raised, flush). with having two separating skimmer and return(.25" raised, flush).
any quick answers would be much appreciated as this is for my fathers tank who is cutting baffles today.
THANKS
