In the design, does the second barries in where the 3 are close to each other, it goes all the way to the top wall correct ?

[roons]

an inch above the one b4 it, i only have 2 baffles there, works fine, actually , the most important part is to make sure you figure correctly so when your system happens to shut down your sump can hold all of what flows out of the tank...............there is a link to the formula i think on main page

Also the mistake I made was putting the 3 baffels so close its almost impossible to clean then. They are getting enough light from the fug to grow all kinds of unwanted algea. I will probly be going to just 2 baffels when I get a few days to mess around.

ok, thanks again
