I need feedback for my sump design

[phuongtp]

Hello guys, I designed this sump for my 60x40x40 tank. Do you have any feedback for optimizing the system?

I would do without the triple baffle design and just have one 20cm tall baffle separating the 2 compartment to save on glass and give yourself more room for the DSB.

Do you mean no bubble trap for the first chamber? And by that, the water height in the second chamber will be the same?

Are you including any mechanical filtration (filter socks, roller, etc?) Are you including a bubble trap? I would consider making the last baffle adjustable so you can control sump height.

Yes, filter socks will be on the first chamber. I already designed 2 bubble traps, but it seems no space for refugium

You only need the one bubble trap, right infront of the return pump. The other is not necessary.

can a bubble trap with 2 baffles be ok?

 

[Red_Beard]

Definitely. That is how mine is set up

yes, you dont need that many bubble traps
