Hi - I have a
4 baffle sump system (2 adjacent drain baffles, center baffle is for filter media, and the last is where I have the return pump). I was hoping someone could explain to me the proper water level for the sump drain and filter baffles. For example, I want to add more water to the "drain" and "filter" baffles to avoid running low on water in the "return baffle". Also, I need a higher water levels in the return baffle for my SCA-302 skimmer 8.5 inches of water.
What are the Pros and Cons of setting the water higher than the top of the baffle? When I raise the water level above the baffle (over the top spill over), it doesn't seem to impact my water flow or create more bubbles. I've read that the water to be no higher the top of the baffle spill over ledge. I am trying to understand why this matters and if there are negative effect from raising the water level above the baffle spill over ledge.
Thank you!
