I am building my sump out of a 30g tank and have a coulpe questions.
First thing is that I guess my tape measure reading skills where off the day I measured for my baffles. I had my glass cut at 11 1/2" wide and the tank is 11 3/4". I am going to use aquarium silicone to put it together. Is that too big a gap to try and fill? I hate to buy the glass twice by also don't want problems. It would be 1/8th on each side which doesn't sound like much but, might be when trying to fill with silicone.
Second thing is the way I am planning to set it up is drain/simmer, bubble trap, return, refugium. Baffles between drain and return 10" tall and baffle between return and fuge 13" tall. Tank is 16" tall and my dt is a 75. Will tee off return pump and feed fuge. Does this seem like a good way to set it up?
