I recently bought a new tank for my daughter that has a built in sump. I cycled the tank with no filtration other than the skimmer. Now the tank is cycled so this "was" my plan for filtration. The sump is made up of 4 chambers. 1. Skimmer and bio pellet in the overflow camber. 2. Cemi pure and sponge in the second. 3. Refugium in the third. 4. Return pump in the fourth. Here is the problem, the first and second baffles are both open on the bottom!!!! Does this make any sense? I called the manufacture and they said it was to keep the water at the same level for expansion equipment. If this is true, then why install the second baffle? It serves no purpose, am I missing something? Here are some pics. Thanks
