    Hello!! It's funny because I am trying to do the same thing!! DIY Sump! I am modifying my 30" Wet/Dry into a sump!
    I will do this tomorrow! And based on edshas2 design I decided to modify it a little bit....
    I I will try to create a rectangle where the water will drain and it will be full of life rock, then the skimmer, then fuge, then I decided to put as well 4 baffles, so the third space can have some mechanical filtration and also be able to put carbon or any other stuff. Also I figured out that the water will not fall creating bubbles again in this last part and the pump shooting them up in the tank.
    What do you think?
    And my main question would be, where the water level would be? on each section?
    Last question, is the space between the baffles (1") okay?
