    Time to upgrade

    Looking to upgrade my current sump and plumbing . Using a rubbermaid container and has worked ok but would like to move on to a better setup. Also have a Little Giant 4 - MDQX - SC as the return pump . Using 1 inch pvc for the return line to the tank.

    Tank size is a 135 . Looking at this sump to purchase http://www.oceanicsystems.com/products_aq_rrsumps.html . Any opinons are welcomed.

    Well if it is an Oceanic product it is no doubt well built but I would be concerned about having on the one baffle. The worse thing to contend with are air bubbles returning to your tank and you very well may get them without some kind of baffling system to help them diffuse.

    Doing some searching around on baffles and see what you come up with. There are some good discussions on RL about baffles and their importance in a sump.
