Just received my CL-44 Synergy sump for my SCA Rimless build! Also, ordered one of there 10-gallon Matching ATO Resviours. All I know is that #Synergy craftsmanship on this sump is unbelievable and built like a tank!

Looking for a sump design that allows a sheet of water to flow. I've seen one on YouTube but can't relocate the video. Doesn't seem to be a common design viewing this thread. If anybody has any pointers let me know. I just thought that if looked cool. Almost seems as if the sump baffles must get progressively shorter from drain to return to allow a wall of water to rush through each. Im sure there must be something in there to prevent bubbles too.
 
I just happened to have a spare 10-gallon tank around and I have been thinking of using this Bubblefin sump for a project. This 10 gal sump kit was a perfect fit for the PetSmart/PetCo 10 gallon tank. Wished it came with a large foam block that was pictured to make it easier to hold the last piece in place. I ended up used a large wood match box instead. best to have the return sock and pump measurements before gluing the pieces in place. Ideally for DIYER's that don't have a table saw or a drill pres to make their own pieces.
 
all very nice sumps and love the plumbing on all of the pics shown. wish I could of gone hard plumbed but I felt after several attempts of dry fitting I just couldn't make it work with what I felt no space to hard plumb. so i went with soft plumbing.
