Mid-Columbia Saltwater Aquarium Club

April meeting 4/14 @ 7PM - Grant's house

Laura and Jim will be hosting the May meeting this Saturday the 12th and it will be the usual of food, drinks, raffle and fun.
 
Doors will be open at 6:00 pm for social talk and the meeting will start at 7:00.  Parking gets a little tight and the city says you can't park on 4th but there is a parking lot a block away.   Meeting is usually held in the backyard so feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair, weather permitting of course.

If you need address/directions, contact a club member.

Best if you park at Mini Mall (where the spaghetti establishment use to be)
 
You will get to see his new frag tank set up in the making.
 
Hope to see you there!

Looks like an excessive amount of baffles to me, I think you should be able to easily cut the number in half.

Also, it is usually more desirable to lay out the sump in this order; skimmer > return > refugium.  You then feed the refugium with a T and a gate valve off your return so that you can control the amount of flow through the fuge.  Typically we want the water to move a little slower through the fuge and setup the way you have pictured you will not be able to control that flow at all.

Just my two copper.

I can't stand micro bubbles so I tried to make as many baffles as posible to destroy their path!  And I designed the fuge in the middle cause the flow is good and it keeps the Micro bubbles from traveling too far in the low flow before they hit the return.
