How To Build a Sump with Baffles.

July 23rd, 2008 · 4 Comments

My sump post a couple of weeks ago was a really simple design, It was not a drilled tank nor did it contain baffles. Many reefers prefer to have a sump/fuge design or just a sump with baffles. I did a little searching on the internet and found a video on You Tube that explains in detail how to create a sump with baffles and how to drill a tank for bulkheads.
