Hey with your fuge being that high, you would need some thick acrylic . I would recomend building it smaller and putting it on a stand to lift it above your sump, just IMO. I have never used a wet/dry, I built one, it came out looking horrible and gave it to the guy I was building it for for cost plus a sixer of coronas. He is happy and still uses it, but man it was the worst looking piece of garbage. The wife liked the black tips...a lot. Exact quote "we need bigger tanks"
