Making a sump

[Finding marlon]

Hi, I'm trying to make a 10 gallon sump for my 16 gallon biocube and am wondering if this design for the baffles is good?
Thanks

Simple is good, for me its easier said than done

Looks like the one I made except I have the skimmer in the chamber right before the return chamber. I don't know for sure if that matters but it might effect the skimmers performance to have it sitting in the intake chamber. Also, make the first baffle of the bubble trap half an inch higher than the third baffle. (looking from left to right) This will help with microbubbles.

With this design I shouldn't have to worry about any bubbles being brought up into my main tank?

Thank you for the tip I will definitely do that
