29 gallon sump/refugium help
I have a glass 29 gallon aquarium that I want to turn into a sump/refugium for my 125.
What steps do I need to take to accomplish this?

Thanks, I'll check that out.
Since I don't have my own tools, where can I go to get my baffles cut for the teeth?

If I am using a glass tank, will plexiglass baffles work just as well as anything else?

I'm building a sump too starting with a glass tank. From what I read, silicone WILL stick to the glass but WON'T stick to the plexiglass. Therefore you end up basically having to use glass baffles too.
If you call a local glass shop, they'll be able to cut the glass for you. |

I had some cut at Lowes and it was only like $10-15. Mine is going to be a 29g sump as well.

Glass or acrylic, and what is your setup going to be like?
