Help fitting roller filter

[mlivvy]

I have a 30" trigger ruby sump. I was going to try to fit a Reefmat 500 in there but went with the slightly smaller Reef Factory Medium roller. The design of this sump makes it difficult to fit a roller. I've come up with 2 possible ideas and would like some feedback.

Idea A- Place roller in middle chamber which fits OK but, the roller will drain in the middle chamber not leaving much flow going to the skimmer in the 1st chamber. I have a bean animal with 3 drains and I could open up the drain a little to the 1st chamber but I think it'll defeat the purpose of the roller.

Idea B- If possible, remove the sump baffle. I've removed baffles before from glass sumps but I don't even know if it can be done in an acrylic sump. This would probably be the best option if it can be done.

Thanks for the help!

Helped myself.
Heres what I did incase its searched.

cut off the brace.

Cut a square out of the baffle with a dremel and ran a 1" vinyl tube. I may swap this out for pvc.
