Material for sump baffles

talon4x4 · 07/08/2007, 09:28 PM

I found someone selling Lexan Polycarboate sheets, 1/4"x24"x48" for $36 or the same dimension Plexiglass for $26.

Will either of those work for making baffles in a glass aquarium and does the price sound about right??

Thanks in advance for any advice!!

I use plexiglass and thats a good price. Use aquarium sealant to attach it to the glass in your tank.

Thanks for the info nss9400!!

I guess if the only purpose is for baffles then plexiglass will get the job done.

Use glass for baffles and much cheaper than plexi. You can go to lowes and have it cut at your dimensions for free. Just be sure to pick the thickest which is 1/4" I think. It also hold perfectly on the glass aquariums
