I use a 30 gallon long my g3 is about center turned to the pump just about touches the front of the sump at a 45 degree angle, my return is on the left side of the sump I keep the water near the bottom of the elbow and the foam muffler all the way down I don't get micro bubbles i think because the water breaks over the top of the dump tube free falls about 2" then travels through the foam pad.
I hope this helps
