Add on refugium

[hockey00]

I have a 60 gallon cube with a 20 gallon high sump underneath. I'm looking to add on a refugium in a separate tank next to sump. Space is limited but I think a 5 gallon glass tank would fit. I've drilled tanks before but can you drill a tank this small and put in bulkheads? Or I was thinking a custom acrylic. Where can I get a custom acrylic tank made or the supplies to do it myself? Thanks

Imo go acrylic you can purchase acrylic sheets from a glass shop

From my experience thinner glass is harder to drill. You can do it but go very slow

Have you looked at a hang on back refugium?

I did my setup that way and it works great. Return pump feeds refuguim and gravity drains it back to the sump. I ended up using some bricks to elevate the fuge slightly over the sump. Acrylic would be much easier to drill and you might be able to find a smaller acrylic tank for a decent price.
