minchton Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Having just seen some wonderful Auckland tanks it is obvious that I should change my simple sump to a refugium. My original idea was to put a smaller tank inside the existing tank, let it overflow into the larger tank and put it through a skimmer back to the main tank. Reading through some of the posts there is talk of "baffles". I assume these are to stop air bubbles from going into the main tank. will this still happen if the water is going through a skimmer or will I need to get a tank built with baffles.

cracker Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 All you need to do is to make sure your main pump intake is well clear of any swirling fine bubbles. This is what the purpose of the baffles are. Just a piece of plastic located right can act like a baffle. You may not need to install baffles if you can place the pump intake in a out of the way spot. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
