hi everyone

i have a squarish DIY sump (no baffles yet) measuring 16" X 14" X 10"
im using a reef octopus classic 110SSS so i need my water level to be at around 7.5".
i dont want a refuge, id rather save this space for equipment and reactors down the road.
what do you recommend for baffle arrangement? i've never built a sump before so i thought i should check here


this is a general idea that i have
