I bought baffles to build a DIY sump. It’s a 29 gal and will be the sump for a 40 gallon reef. I have a HOB skimmer (AquaMaxx HOB 1.5). Here are the baffles
The right side will be where water enters, the middle a refugium, the left my return pump.
My plan is the have water drain into a filter sock and then have the skimmer hanging in the section where water enters. I am anticipating adding chemipure elite for the GFO / carbon [when necessary] but I’m entirely sure where I’ll add it. Any advice is appreciated. The baffles will be adjusted left to right a little more - I just put them in to show the anticipated order and height.
I’m not sure what I’ll do as far as dosing goes when it’s necessary. I’m thinking about a HOB calcium reaction like the AquaMaxx C-Tech T-NANO. I’d probably also put that in the section with the skimmer or refugium.
