Look a bit high for my taste . Just think how close the water will be in the first chamber. Are you planning to run filter socks or floss?

IMO a simpler sump with way less baffles will be easier to clean and provide greater flexibility when it comes to the size of equipment you can place in it.

Sock only when I need to.

Is your return line just going to hang over the top of the tank? If so, back siphoning can be eliminated with a simple tiny hole drilled in the return. Right about water height. Then you dont have to worry about your sump levels when the pump turns off, as your baffles are pretty tall.

That's the plan. Expecting tank to only drain 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
