Hello Guys! I'm just getting ready to start my new nano reef. Its an AIO 45L tank, the hood is getting some retrofitted high quality LEDs, but I still haven't figured out the baffle system. I attached a picture so you can see. The lower water intake will get covered with acrylic and silicone. Was also going to make a DIY media rack for the first chamber, but looking at the baffles I don't know if it will work. Let me guys know what you think! PS. The small hole in the 3rd chamber will also get covered.

Okay so update time! So as no one answered, i figured it was probably wrong, so i set myself to make 3 chambers instead of 4, removing the center baffle and leaving things simpler. This is what i ended up with.

With the removed acrylic baffles, I plan on covering the lower entry areas to the return pump, so that it will flow from the top of the 2nd chamber (where the heater and maybe something else will go), and also to cover the lower water entry space, so that it will flow from the top only (added a flow picture).

What do you guys think? Cheers!
