Got this sump free with some other stuff I have, and want to run it with a sca-301 skimmer, and originally wanted to run some chaeto also, but not sure how I can accomplish both with this sump. It will be returned to a 24x24x14 at about 300gph.

I would also cut the plexi on the inflow side to add a filter sock...even if you don't use or want to use one....easier to do it now instead of later.

This is my opinion on this I run the same sump and I hate it once you have everything in it it is very hard to get into to clean and always fighting micro bubbles I'm. Fixing to move and when I do cutting it up for baffles in a 40b so i say sell it and get a tank and make your own. I got mine the same way free and wished I'd never used it.
 
Awesome, thank you for spending the time to draw that up for me... How tall should the new baffle be?
