I'm not sure which baffle setup I should go with my sump. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
travie

Be, but I would put the middle half of the bubble trap so its only an inch from the bottom of the tank

B looks the best. the slope on the right baffle in A would be useless

Looks like I will be going with B. In theory the slope would remove the water fall affect and micro-bubbles. I'll look into getting the glass sometime next week when I don't have to work.

B and move that center baffle to 1 inch off the bottom of the tank.

How far apart should I make the set of 3? And how high should I make the middle of the 3 baffles?

Space them an inch apart and make the middle one only an inch above the other 2, that way if the bubble trap gets clogged the water will have a place to go
