I am working on my sump. Do you think the first picture is better or the second picture? First picture has one set of double baffles before the return pump and one baffle after the protein skimmer. Second picture has two sets of baffles: after the protein skimmer and before the pump.

You do not need two bubble traps. One, right before the return, is more than enough.

After seeing by skimmer putting out no bubbles into the water, my sump is single baffles....no bubble traps.
 
Ok. Thanks, everyone. Went with the first picture. :)
