not to hijack the thread, but i have a question that fits under the title of this thread,
i built my own sump, put in the glass tripple baffels, and they are georgeous. BUT, my original idea was to slant the baffels so that the water comming out of the tripples would slide down the glass into the return pump section, but in my haste and delerium of being outside in the heat, i put them in straight up and down.
So, now that they're in, the water sheets down the glass pretty well, but if you up the flow to around 600gph, i start making bubbles in the return pump section. Its not bubbles comming through the tripples, its the water thats comming out of the tripples falling and churning up the water thats in the return...
so, without rebuilding, and without reducing flow, how can i help the water move more smoothly? i have pictures, but thier at the house, and thats hours away from where i am right now.
