I realize this is a repetitive question but I need your advice before I proceed with this project.

I have a Pro Clear 125 sump that looks like this.


Want it to become this:


Is this plan going to work?
Thanks for helping.

I'd add a bubble trap before the return pump.

I have the container that fits under aquarium. I'm basically adding baffles, skimmer, rocks and plants to it. I'm not quite sure what a bubble trap is so I guess that should have been my question to you.

Why would you want to change the shape of it by angling one side. Its probly safer with the taller sides.
