    I did a test and it was only a cup of water after the pump turns off. :)

    Thanks.. :( The check valve got outstanding reviews off MarineDepot, I never really loose power and I will be turning the pump off every other day to feed so hopefully it will never fail.

    baffles?

    what are the dimensions of the baffles? I'm going to try to mimic this install. Is there anyway to run both a 5.5 ATO Tank and a 5.5 Sump directly next to it? I think that was your original plan right? I have a 5.5 gallon ATO tank in my cabinet just like you...

    ps i joined 3 reef just to ask you

    First of all welcome to 3Reef. :)

    I ditched my 5.5 gallon ATO and am using a 2.5 gallon instead (Lasts around 1.5 weeks). I did this to allow more room behind my refugium area also I don't think the Biocube stand has room for two 5.5 gallon tanks. Lastly my baffles are .5 inches apart from each other.

    Hope this helps. :)
