Just go to Lowe's and have them cut plexiglass to fit. For bubble traps, use three baffles, the middle one 1-inch off the bottom, and the three of them 1-inch apart from each other.

Looks good to me. I don't know why he has the gap in the return section baffle, you could just use a solid piece of plexi for that.

Re: Frenchie's 75 gallon build thread

I don't understand why the skimmer is in the fuge section and not in the first(left) section.Is there a bubble trap on the Urchin?

Re: Frenchie's 75 gallon build thread

the gap in the one baffle is how its setup up now, im taking baffles out cause there loose and very thin plexy glass. Just want some advice on how many and which way to place new ones in sump.

Re: Frenchie's 75 gallon build thread

was thinking of redoing baffles as the same design as precision marine sumps.
