Tank renovation - Filtration

That is not only a lot of flow in an 80 gallon display tank, but how big is the sump? 30 gallons? Even if you've got half the flow after taking hydraulic head into account, 1000 gph through a 30 gallon tank is a bit intense. I don't think any number of baffles is going to help you, the bubbles are going to get sucked right through.

If I were you I'd sell the pump for something smaller. Even the reef people who like thousands of gph of flow don't do it all through the sump, they put in closed loops and powerheads.
