Quick question I've looked at as many sump designs as I can find but I can't find a particular answer to my setup.
If I were to add a baffle where I have the yellow line and egg crate where the green line is, so that water is forced under and through my media and then over the last baffle into my return will the water level be the same throughout all chambers like it would if I were to just leave it as it is?
Every design I see uses the same baffles on all chambers either an over under over, or under over under design.
Reason being this 55g sump is going on a 180 corner flow tank. I know that if the power goes out or if I shut the pump off it will back flow 10 to 12 gallons into the sump. I left just over 2 cubic feet of over flow space in the sump which is just over 14 gallons so its close but should not over flow. I'm rethinking my sump design after days of staring at it...
