I was looking at some people's Red Sea sump setups here, and I just realized you can actually setup a wall in the sump in between the pump return chamber and the filter sock chamber. I never put mine in, but I was wondering if it has any purpose if I don't have a refugium?
I have a skimmer there, so the skimmer would be in a sort of intermediate chamber (creating a chamber before the filter sponge going into the pump return chamber).
The only benefit to this wall I can think of is that the baffle letting water through might aerate the water a smidge, but the protein skimmer I have should be doing that to a much greater degree.
Long story short - refugium baffle wall when you don't have a refugium, yay or nay?
