Aquarium Advice FINatic
Ok, so I have my power heads hooked up, and the sand in my tank and refugium. The drains are plumbed, as well as most of the return, I can't finish that until I get my return pump.
----> I have a question, the 35g long tank with the 3 drains in it is my sump, should I do a baffle system in it or could I leave it like it is with the return pump on the left side and the skimmer in the center. If anything, what if I just do one baffle on the left side just before the pump? That way the water level by the skimmer will stay at or above that height. All I'm putting in there is the skimmer and the return pump, and probably some rubble, doesn't seem to me like I should need a complex baffle setup since my refugium is a whole different tank... thoughts?
