Had two different synergy units and loved them both but now have Bashsea and by far the best Ive ever had- the construction and quality is amazing

Looks very nice.

Do you plan to put the ReefMat in the first chamber or hang it on the baffle.

You mentioned having dual returns. How big is that chamber by the foam. It seems tight for 2.

Planning to install on first chamber so didn't want the wall between the filter socks (not entirely sure how it will be set up since... reefmat isn't here yet). Return Chamber is 7.5x10 inches - planning on 2 Cor20s, 2 Varios-8, or 2 Syncra SDc 9.0.

Sorta What I wanted to do below, although I haven't had the chance to actually measure out the exact dimensions of the sump received... maybe on the weekend :p

That looks like it should work well. I like all the bulkheads you had put in. Look forward to seeing if it functions well.

Looking to do the same. Just order a Red Sea Fleece Roller 1200 and was thinking of using it in a Bashsea sump. So how is it working out for you?

You'd think that the sump vendors would start making models that were more compatible with rollers or could be adjustable ie removable filter sock structure to make room for a roller.
