I posted my 60 Gallon Reboot thread.
One of the issues that needs attention is that the 40 G breeder tank is just a equipment dump. Meaning it is not organized and just equipment thrown in there with the only purpose to hide the equipment from the main tank.
I would like to add some baffles to the sump. However, I dont want to spend 100 + on baffles so i was thinking about acrylic / Plexiglas. Will the Home Depot Plexiglas work or should i get cell cast?
Would I need to go Glass baffles since it is a glass tank?

Let me know what you would do. I am hoping i can go the Home Depot Plexiglas route.

Additions:
- Filter Sock section / Carbon Bags. - This is being added because the sump was becoming a nitrate factory. My initial test before the reboot was nitrates of at least 50 PPM + (I currently have about 6 to 8 filter socks which will make a weekly cycle to reduce the build up of detritus. in the sump. I think i removed about 8 oz on the last vacuum).
- Refugium Section (First Water contact section)-- Being built because I am currently growing cheato to off set and reduce nuisance algae.
- Skimmer section after Refugium (Second Water Contact)- Needed for organization
- Return Section (Return Pump and ATO here)(Last Water Contact) - Needed for organization
Let me know what you would do. I am hoping i can go the Home Depot Plexiglas route.
