DIY sump issue...

[John A!10]

So I made a 10 gallon diy sump last year and it was great. I just noticed that the divider between the last chamber and fuge isn’t working properly. The water is supposed to go OVER UNDER OVER. but I gots crack in my last divider and it’s going OVER UNDER UNDER. I’m not getting bubble and the tanks is like Normal, should I just pull out the last wall? To see video on iPhone press and hold to download it.

If it were me I would just leave the last baffle in unless the extra little bit of space would be helpful in some way.
I have the same baffle setup but I honestly never understood what the 3rd baffle was for. The first sets the water height and the second forces the water down so bubbles hopefully go up and don't make it into return chamber.

I’m going to leave it in unless I get any major issues.

I think the third baffle is to reduce bubbles from the drain. If this isn't a problem, I wouldn't worry about it and just leave it be.

Ok I’ll leave it. Thanks for the advice.
