alright so I have a 30g long for my sump and I'm about to put in the glass pannels, my question is, how high do you normally put the baffels? Or does it not really matter? Sump will be setup with skimmer and drain on the left, refuge in the middle and return on the right.
 
depends on how much surface area your display has... you'd adjust baffle height based on how much NON-water space you require in the sump to maximize total volume.
 
ahhhh........ok, so is there a gereral rule of thumb here? or is it just a wing it process when setting everything up? guess that all depends on when power goes out how much will empty back to the sump. Booo for trying to figure that out.
 
uh huh, yeah I found some good info....can always count on marc.
