Hi all, new to the site but not saltwater. I am setting up a 150 gallon basement sump. My question is how far apart do I need to place the baffels? I am running a reeflo hammerhead and will have a ton of flow. I have never tried to build a sump that will end up with liked 3,000 per hour flow. Maybe higher. I was thinking 1 1/2 apart but can I get that volume through that small of a space? Some pictures from the build just for fun.

but welcome to R2R!! I'd say 1 1/2 to 2 inch should be enough
