What do you guys think of my sump/fuge plan?

I definately think the top off unit will have to sit outside(with 30g)....trying to figure out how to disguse it??

 

I had a 29 under my 40g, the skimmer called for 9 to 12 inches of water to work. So the baffel on it I made 10.5 inches. the baffel for the fuge was like 12 inches or better. The last inside baffels for the return pump was 6 inches.

 

Maybe not....
I got one of those white plastic square 5gal jugs with a spigot (had 5gal of worthless "stress coat" in it) ...anyway, I was thinking of adapting it for ATO using a Aqualifter...it could be "platformed" to drip into a 30G...but the actual lighted area would have to be on the opposite end

other possibilities are those clear blue "water cooler" jugs ..I'm thinking the footprint is about 11"X11" if i'm not mistaken ...tight next to a 30, but not impossible

...as for baffles...ever since this thread opened up, I've been thinking up some kinda way to have adjustable height baffles....the acrylic work would be sorta "precision" (making slots, channels, et) but not impossible (this is as opposed to siliconing the baffles at a fixed height)
