| Re: 10 gallon sump good enough? With proper planning, it should work well. If you are going to make you rown sump, read a lot for cutting your baffles. Proper design will make all the difference. I am right in the beginning stages of a 50G sump...so I understand...  LL

| Re: 10 gallon sump good enough? is it necessary to have baffles? i was at lfs and he showed me a sump they had in their 400g coral dt. it was just filter pads sitting on egg crates where the water came in, a protein skimmer, a little spot where he grows so kind of algae stuff and then the return pump. no baffles at all. |

 If you don't mind micro-bubbles in your display tank...you might not need baffles... LL
