That is a great idea if it holds up but it is worth trying. Thank for sharing.

Has a lot of good reviews but I'm most likely gonna go the traditional route

I think it would be a great way to try out different baffle places before siliconing in place.

FYI they say to use a rougher blade to cut the acrylic. Instead use painter's tape on the acrylic and a fine tooth blade. The cuts will be nice and smooth, as smooth as it gets with a saber saw I guess ;)

That seems like a great idea specially when the tank you are putting baffles in is bowed.

That's good thinkin cd

Funny I am about to make a new sump and this will help.

I still have to think of where I'm putting this sump I have a stand that's divided in the middle so it's for sure going to the side. Was thinking of taking out the bottom two drawers of a dresser and putting the sump in there with two holes drilled in the back for plumbing. This way it's somewhat a dt and not an eye sore on top of the dresser.

I've done this successfully on a small system I have. Its nice cuz you can adjust it if you need to for different size pump, skimmer, fuge,etc. Just my .02

I'm using a standard 10g so the rim will get in the way of sliding the peices in I think

Then again i Could always take off rim And resilicone when done

WHy would it get in the way? You put the baffle in at an angle then pull it straight.

Lol realized this today when I got my glass cut even though I made it 1/4 too wide

yea trust me I been thinking about my LED system so much I can't go to sleep until 2 am. I need sleep and have tons of home work to do this weekend for College and Work. Time is slipping away.

Funny how that work isnt. You get so interested in something that you can't sleep then when you can't sleep you have done forgot about it until it is time to sleep again.
