Next time... I'm going to space my baffles far enough apart to drop a pump in between so that i can drain and clean between the baffles. I have a big crack in one of mine from forcing my hand between them to retrieve something.

I would think the distance between them isn't an issue, it's the space below the middle baffle that determines the flow capacity. And then it's water going over the top of the baffles that strips the bubbles off.
