    Yes. It is for a fuge. Do I need to teeth on both baffles?

    I'd ditch all the baffels and through some teeth on the one on the left by the return and call it done. Do you have a sump too? Or is this the only thing your going to use?

    This is the only container I'm using. I'm modifying the sump to be used as a refugium and sump

    Oh OK...then yeah design you had will work fine but I just take out the baffle farthest to the right and put teeth on the baffle between fuge and return to protect the pump.

    How do teeth protect the pump vs no teeth?

    Teeth will keep macro from getting to the pump. I burned up a little giant pump because a ball of chaeto got into the intake and bound it all up.

    Okay great! Think I could use a drill bit and use the side of the bit to carve vertical teeth?
