Baffle Kit for 125 Gallon Sump

[reelss]

Anyone makes Baffle Kits for a 125 Gallon Sump? Don't have a design in mind yet, in the early planning stages.

Sump Kits – Exotic Marine Systems

I have just unboxed the package so far, and haven't installed the kit. But quite impressed with what all is included.
Also @TaylorPilot has been quite helpful with the questions I had about the kit.

That is why I went with acrylic. As long as the baffles are square, there shouldn't be any issues.

Gonna email them. I want filter sock holders.on my sump. I’ll see if I can piece this sump together.

Check Craigslist often for sumps. I got both my big trigger sumps for under $100. They retail for $500 I believe. I filled it up with a hose, dumped in a gallon of vinegar, hooked up an old pump I don’t care about to some flex tubing to feed the sump where the drain will be. Ran it for a few hours. They both looked like brand new sumps after that.

Gonna get some glass cut

well looks like my cheap 4" filter sock doesn't want to fit over the plastic trim.
back to the drawing board.

ok here are my cut list for my glass baffles. What do you think..

egg crate filter pad/foam stand
first baffle , 16 7/8" wide. x. 18 5/8 height ( 2" space)
second baffle 16 7/8 x. 15" height. on bottom glass.
third baffle. 167/8". x 18 5/8

I'm leaving around 3" of safety space just under plastic trim.
