I am setting up a 120 and I am using a 29 gallon aga for the sump/fuge. I was wondering if anyone out there would be kind enough to show me theirs, as well as give some info on it.

I am mostly curious as to how high the baffles should be? Should the baffles on the fuge side be taller than the skimmer side?

Heres mine. Its a 38gal aga. 4 total baffles, 3 of them are the same height, then the other one lets water flow under it.
Does this help?

Baffles cost me $5/baffle. Cheers

Here's my 30gal w/ an over/under at 9 inches high to maintain a decent height for my EuroReef skimmer.
