In terms of two or three baffles I have read both sides of the argument. I think what I should do is lay everything out when it comes in and decide from there. If I have room, I would more than likely go with three baffles before the return to minimize the bubbles entering the DT. Does that sound like a reasonable option?
Sounds totally reasonable. If you have another section (refugium or whatever) between your skimmer and return pump section, I doubt any bubbles would make it that far. I can more readily see the need for 3 baffles if your skimmer is beside the return chamber.
Looks like you're well on your way, keep it up. Learning about all this stuff is half the fun
