I recommend using an acrylic aquarium if possible, and then you can use weld on to make a very nice seamless dividers in your sump. I know lots of people use glass,but IMO it is very messy and you could have problems down the road with the baffles coming undone. I bought a brand new 45 long for mine for 130$. Cut some acrylic on my table saw,glued it up,and I was finished, very clean and proffesional looking.
While I am no expert in acrylic, how did you get the acrylic glued in place? Every thing I have seen in the way of acrylic fab, uses the pins and needle method. How did you manage to get the baffle in nice and tight?
It just seems to me, there is a big difference in applying glue to an open space and setting the piece onto the other vrs. applying glue to two sides and sliding it into place. It would seem that the glue would be lacking on the one side.
