If you set your sump up this way then you will be fine. The only thing I would not do is have that baffle on the right so high because that will create a waterfall which will make noise. You also don't need two valves just the one on the right.

Okay. One last question for now until I build this and then I will post pictures for any comments people have. There seems to be 2 different setups for bubble traps one using 3 pieces of glass and one using only 2. For instance the picture above which uses 3 vs some I have seen where there is a piece flush with the bottom that water falls over and then a single piece with a gap on the bottom and no piece blocking the water and making it flow up again. Is there a need for this third piece?
 
The way I've seen bubble traps made is with 3 pieces of glass 1 inch apart. Can't really comment on what two pieces of glass would do or if it would work.
 
This is why I prefer a DC pump, besides form the ability to control the speed & feed from a controller :)
