So I'm getting very close to getting my tank all ready for set up, and trying to decide how I want my sump. I just got the jabao dct 15000 head height is roughly 5ft, so I'm guessing I'll have about 2000 gph or so, tank is around 300 gallons. I'm kinda shooting for a W/D type of filter, I have one now and works amazingly well but I can't push that much water though the one I built. I've never messed with baffles and such before so any input would be awesome

If you're gonna use filter socks........why do you need baffles? You don't need any chambers at all.

Lol I honestly have no idea, I looked at a few sump designs and puts couple together, I thought the last baffles determined water height? So I wouldn't need the last baffles?
 
Don't put ANY baffles at all. Just hang your filter socks in the sump. Put some bio-media in a laundry bag and put it in the water. And put a submersible pump in the water. That's it. Put a heater in there, too.

Run you drains into the filter socks. That's all you need to do.
