Baffles in sump

[blue dog]

Hi folks, getting ready to assemble my sump (75g)
I read lots of folks have three baffles, can you put more in, or is this a waste of time

I have 3 from skimmer to return but then a wall with fuge so there's 3 sections. And obvious the baffle height will be dependent on skimmer water depth recommendation. Hope this helps!

you can put as many baffles as you want/need. all in how you design the sump and what you want to accomplish

^ agreed.

You put as many as you need to reduce the bubbles. That may be 2, that may be 5 or 8 even. It just depends on how you have them set up, the sections of your sump, the flow of your sump, and the bubbles produced. Most people place 3 after the skimmer to reduce the micro bubbles created from the skimmer, becuase for the most part, 3 gets the job done.

I just put this together maybe it will help you.
