I think that’ll be sweet! I like the top off bay lol that’s dope man! Also nice guitar is that a rickenbacker? I have a strat (guitar not coral lol) and an ibanez. And some crappy acoustic lol

Sure that would work but it looks like very small sections.
What are the dims of each section.
A fuge is really not needed, imo.
If you run no fuge you can run no baffles.
Here is a pic of my 40 breeder on my 120.
I ran a nano with a sump similar to your design.
Small section are hard to service.

Sorry but there’s some issues.
Don’t want skimmer with return pump (bubbles)
Think separate jug/tub/container fir top of better.
Would do socks then skimmer than fuge then return

Thanks mate! And yes it’s a rickenbacker! I’m an avid guitar player!

Thanks! Does it not need walls? Yours looks to be working well

With no fuge their is no need for walls/baffles, imo.
I run 2 systems this way.
Filter sock, skimmer, return pump, small 1 cup carbon reactor, calcium reactor, and heater.
I run all Tunze equipment.

A few weeks late to the conversation but I agree with this. I have an Aqueon 4 sump. The design has the return and the skimmer in the same chamber. So, if the skimmer overflows (say when you restart or do a big top off or whatever) .. that skimmate gets sucked right back to the DT. I have a foam block on my return pump to help buffer that (and bubbles).
Ideally, I'm either going to kill the fuge when I move the sump to the new build or I'm going to start fresh with a new sump.
