I recently purchased a kit on ebay that is basically a bunch of baffles that i will be gluing into my tank with sillicone. My question is where exactly do i put them? Do I need a certain amount of room on either my intake or my side with the pump for water flow purposes or does it not really matter? I know i will need atleast enough room on the intake side for the skimmer, but is that all i need to worry about?

Can you supply a little more info?

What you'll be using the sump for?

Will it also be used as a refugium?

Will you be putting an in-sump skimmer?

What kind of return pump will you be putting? (internal or external)?
