:cool:Hi, i have a 125 that i wanted to turn into a sump fuge under my 265. I wanted to go get the glass cut but i'm trying to figure a design and how hi for the baffles. I would like to incorporate a cryptic zone into it but i'm lost on design and freakin out cause i need to get this done to start my basement. Does anyone have any good ideas or designs on for one of these? I appreciate it and thanks.
 
This will help allot. http://www.melevsreef.com/allmysumps.html
Dual overflow tank? Typical setup with dual drains...1 side feeds skimmer and other side feeds fuge/cryptic zone,with them converging in the middle where your return pump is.
1st baffle (over) height for skimmer section is dependant on the manufacturers recommended level, can be more you would just need to raise the skimmer accordingly.2nd baffle (under) is same dim but 1.5" up from bottom and 1.5" away from others last one should be about half the height of you sump,this will give you some flexibility.
Fuge side can be the same configuration but maybe taller....say 2.5" from the top.
