Has Anybody Managed Successfully to Put Baffles in a Stock Tank?

[ostrow]

I have a 150 gal (6x2x2) poly stock tank from Behlen. It is like the Rubbermaid/Agrimaster but narrower.

But it is not rectangular. I'm wondering if anyone has ever put baffles into one of these, and if so, how.

Thanks!

I have...what a PIA. I had to cut templates out of contruction paper and then cut the acrylic....Nothing sticks to the polycarbonate so I used a lot of silicone to set it in place and then a lot of sealing foam on both sides of the baffle and then used a PVC wedge to help support. It has worked for over 2 years now. But it was the only solution I could come up with at the time....

Thanks Matt. Ta heck with it. I'll do what I did before. Just one big ol' sump. Put a nice big rock wall in there and done. Don't really need baffles though it would be nice.

I have worked too. Not sure what your point is?

If you have managed to install baffles in a poly stock tank, some description of how would be useful.

I've seen people use 5 gallon buckets for bubble traps in these, works great for your incoming water flow, then building a live rock barrier is what i've done in the past

You must have seen my last tank! :bigeyes::bigeyes:

I had thought of using that tank divider thing you see at places like Petstupid. Or trying a "normal" type of divider thing. But my hunch is that's more trouble than it's worth.
