Making glass baffles for sump

[keithp]

I know the jager is supposed to be fully submersible but I have tried to avoid it. Is it common to lay it across the bottom?

That's what I do with mine using the suction cups.

Yeah I don't see a problem with it. I've done this with all of my heaters as I enjoy not having to turn them off for a water change. I have never owned a jäger though so I hope it's ok.

Well guys I got the sump done. I wasted quite a bit of glass in the process and it's beyond ugly but I think it will perform well.

Menards only had black silicone. =\ Can't see it well but water will flow in on the left side (drains submerged) then spill over filter floss suspended by lighting diffuser. Water will then flow under the next baffle into the skimmer section. (I will need to build a skimmer stand out of lighting diffuser as this chamber is about 14" deep) finally water will flow through a bubble trap into the return/heating section. I made this section large enough to accommodate the length of a 300w eheim jäger. I will also be drilling a 10 gallon tank to use as a refugium which will pick up water from a specific chamber and drain into another (not sure exactly which ones that will be)

How is that sump holding out? I am going to get that same aqueon. what size were your baffles in width? would you keep the baffles the same size or make them bigger or smaller?
Let me know. Thanks.
