    Slick, My sump was built by simply installing 3 baffles in a 20H aquarium in a bubble trap configuration. Since I'm not using it for a refugium it only has a main chamber and return. If you search you can see my blog about building and installing it titled "Sump thing happened". So far I'm very pleased with the 2 marineland pumps, one for the sump return and the other powering my algae scrubber. Both are still running reliably and silently. I'll be posting a blog about the scrubber soon too.
