Unfortunately, no one wanted to help.

Regarding the sump: There’s nothing complicated about it. You make 2 compartments - for the equipment and the return pump. The dimensions should accommodate the foam and the return pump. Regarding the foam: It's hard to say anything without a photo, and even with a photo... The foam is more of a philosophical question, and it’s easy to get carried away with it. P.S. Photos really help in understanding the issue.

I calculated the volumes for the pump department for return and emergency volume. The return volume is 6 liters, and the emergency volume is 13 liters. I plan to have 3 sections: a foam section, an algae section, and a return section. As I understand, the height of the partition between the last two will depend on the width of the walls of the Aqua, so that the volume is 6 liters. The first partition, which should be a certain height, can be significantly higher but not exceed the limit to fit within the volume.

I'm a bit slow today; I didn't understand the question's meaning. The water depth should be such that it matches the design of the buoy. The water level is a quite important parameter for the buoy.

Alexandra

the length of one side of the aquarium, the length of the front wall, and the height, when multiplied together, should equal 6 liters

You have already been told that you need to provide either a photo or a diagram of your system (with dimensions). It is very difficult to give any advice without knowing how many partitions are in the sump (and whether these partitions are even necessary). It is also difficult with the foam fractionator - what kind of design, what pump, diameter, etc.? I recommend that you consult with colleagues and look at functioning systems in person. I think that in Lviv, your sea is neither the first nor the last.
