bah, I actualy have about 5000 gph flowing through my sump alone (only 1200 goes back to the tank though) so aprox 5000gph through 20 gal water volume in a 33 gal sump (250X turnover rate for the sump) and no micro bubbles. so it comes down to how well you though out your baffles and the arangment for the high flow capacity. I agree if I would have put my baffels closer togeather the velocity of water would probably carry over bubbles to my return pump suction.
