Baffles

[Dennis-Pir]

If I have a 33g tank I am turning into my sump how high should my baffles be...?????

As per the overflow box.... ---


Ok well if I can paint you a picture I drilled my tank, (well I didn't a member on thsi site did) and its on the top right corner.. and I was going to build a 'overflow box' (I.e. a box against the corner that would measure 5X5 give or take.

So I am wondering if anything would drain out of this at all, as the 'lip' or teeth of the overflow box will be quite near the top....


Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I've checked many sites such as "melv's reef" etc... =)

just wondering if anyone has pictures of a sump they made or anything like that as well

yea at least 3" ...they should be 1" apart with the middle one 1" off the bottom
as per the over flow box my tank isnt drilled so i cant help u with that

there some drilling walkthroughs about drilling tanks but i still don't understand how some types of drilled tanks work. the ones i really understand was the ones with built-in overflow box or the weir overflow box.
