Well today I was getting ready to lay down after working midnight shift. I am watching TV talking to a friend, and we hear a loud thump. I am like what was that! I go in to look at tank, and sump. I notice filter sock has fallen into return section of sump. No big deal right, this happens all the time. Well after friend leaves I inspect things. The bubble trap, and the retention wall in sump from skimmer section both released. The DSB section is still holding, and I have PVC pipe holding the baffle in place for now. I am thinking this sump has served me well for 3+ years so I want to build another just like it. I have a tank that I can pick up tomorrow. My question is mainly about the DSB. Right now I have return in middle, skimmer section on one end, and the DSB with rock on the other end. I want to go back with this, as it has served me well for this long. What do I need to do about the deep sand bed? Can I just remove the sand, and place in the new sump? I really just wish I could silicone the baffles in place, but I know that will never work so I have a decision to make. Please help! I have even thought of removing both baffles to see how that works, but I am afraid of bubbles in the display.
