Hi,
I am really excited to be starting my own saltwater tank! I want to build a 29gal sump for my 75gal DT. Unfortunately, the 40gal breeder will not fit. I am looking for 1/4" glass or acrylic sheets for the baffles, but I cannot find them as the typical hardware stores like Home Depot, Lowes, or Ace. Where you do you get your sheets?
Also, I am doing my best to calculate the water backflow/overflow in case of a power outage, and to be safe, I am calculating 6 gal. I think it is closer to 4.5 or 5, but I wanted to be safe. Would a 29gal sump with 3 chambers work for the overflow volume? I can go just with 2 chambers, but I wanted 3 chambers if I don't risk overflowing my sump. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!
