    So this is my sump lay out. It causes lots of bubbles. What should I do?

    Add a "over under" baffle like the one you posted a pic of. That should take care of most of them. Only thing I see wrong with that pic is they have the pump t'd off and going back to the sump, which is unnecessary.

    yes that was said because he wanted a hight flow sump off of one pump so he teed it off i would just valve my pump back. i will draw up what i want if you really think it would be worth doing the "remodel" ;D

    Would I be able to go

    Refugium > skimmer > return pump

    The bubble trap being in between the skimmer and return pump.
    Refugium water level at 18 > skimmer level at 8-12( need more research on correct water level and stands) then return leval's full leval be at 1 inch below that.

    I have a mental picture I just need to sit down and draw it up. And see what you think.

    My harlequin shrimp tried to eat my open brain coral.
    I tried to return it because I don't want something my shrimp are going to eat. No return on damaged items.
    So I dipped it in coral RX and put a container with holes over it to keep shrimp off. What els should I do.

    So here is my plate coral as you can see the rock I bought it on has it placed sideways. Is that ok? The bottom of the coral never fully opens!
