    Default Sump= MICRO BUBBLES (this cant be right!!)

    Ok I just hooked up my sump. in the section where the overflow empties into the sump I have my skimmer, heater and an underflow for the overflow pipeing. then I have three baffels (over under over). The micro bubbles are going right thru the baffels and into the return section which is in the middle. How do I fix this?? My spaceing is 1 inch apart and the center baffel is 1 inch from the bottom.

    Any help is greatly appriciated,

    Jojo

    I might cut up an old AC110 sponge and see if it helps but I think it is because the flow is so fast that the water is shooting off the last baffle and causeing bubbles by the pump but a sponge just might fix that. I'll let you know.

    helped but I still cant really open her up all the way like I want to, it sucks the return dry and I don't thin my overflow can handle it. I may try after someone confirms my suspision try removeing one baffle from the end where I moved the pump to so that all water exits from an under the baffle position??? That should eliminate the cascade effect.
