Custom Sump Design

chriscobb · 04/03/2009, 01:35 AM

Currently in the planning design stage of building a sump for my new setup.....I want to have enough space within the sump to have enough room to accomodate just about any size skimmer, want a large fuge area, as well as a nicely sized return area to compensate for evaporation.....So far the only thing I'm certain on is the overall size which will be 48"Lx36"Wx18"H.....Looking for ideas as to layout of areas inside the sump and a good flow through the sump and baffle heights as well.......All help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!
