55 as a sump/fuge

[thirty6]

thinking of setting a 55gal glass tank up as sump/fuge. space isnt an issue where the tank will be set up. it will most likely be used for a 90g display tank that for now will be fowlr. any simple ideas, i know silicone should be used, but not too positive how to set this up, where to get baffles from,
thanks in advance for any input

Get your measurements and call you local glass store. They will cut to size at any width you need. I used 14 inch in my home made fuge. Just be real carful of what silicone you use. I'm having to drain my tank and cut out the baffles and remove all silicone cause i used the wrong kind... Good Luck

google melvesreef and search the sump/fuge plans. Also, use the search function for "sump" "fuge" in the diy. Tons of stuff in the archives.

By far the best place to go for sump/fuge/plumbing questions.
