Need some sump help

Gonna use a 20 long for a sump. Does this seem about right, as far as baffle height goes? Any other useful comments or critiques?

Looks good but I don't see a need for the first bubble trap by the drain.

Since my skimmer will be in that 1st chamber, I figured I'd give it a little extra bubble reduction.

Nice Shawn! What did you use to create the drawing? I'm going to start designing my build out and want to make sure I have it all laid out before cutting and gluing.

I used paint for the line drawing but had to use Photoshop for the text.

That 6 inches for the drain/skimmer section seems a little bit small, depending on what your skimmer footprint is going to be. I'd make it at least 3 inches wider so you can easily get your skimmer in there and if you decide in the future to run a sock, you'll still have some room.
