Reefing newb
I went and picked up a brand new 20 gallon long tank yesterday. I need help with dimensions on the baffles. The tank is 29 1/4" long, and I need the refugium section to be at least 17" (my HOB skimmer is 15") because I don't want the skimmer to be too tight of a fit. so that leaves 12 1/4" for the first and last chambers, and the baffles.
I am guessing I should have about 3/4" in between each baffle, which takes off 4 1/2" total, including the 1/4" baffles as well. Which means there is now 7 3/4" total for the first and last chambers.
For the return chamber I am thinking it will be 5". And 2 3/4" for the overflow chamber.
However I have no idea on the dimensions to make the baffles. The tank is 11 3/4" from front to back (inside) so each baffle will have to be 11 3/4" x ?"
Here's a picture of what I was thinking so far.
