Anyone have any idea on what the distance between my baffels should be and how high off the bottom? 220 tank 55 sump and a mag24 return.
Thanks for any help.
 
I used plexiglass, the thickest they sell at Lowe's (I think it's 1/4 inch). I think mine is around 600 GPH. But from what I read when I built my sump, the flow rate shouldn't matter when it comes to the positioning of the baffles. I use an Eheim 1200 for the return pump, which is 1200 GPH. But my overflow box is rated at 600.
 
cool, heres one for ya , Anyone know what the inside dimentions are on a 55 gal are? I was gonna cut my plexi at work, didnt measure my tank though.
 
I found a site that says its 12" inside width. Also anyone ever hear that tanks arn't actually true to the gallon. a 55 is acutally like 47 or something. They say the manufacturer gives the outside dimensions and that is the gallon amount the tank is sold as!
