looking for a sump/refugium

[JDrex]

I have a 72 gallon bow front and was wondering where I can find a sump with a refugium buit into it?

IMO i would just buy a 30 gal. tank or the biggest tank that will fit under your stand and add the baffles in yourself from some glass. it is cheap and works just as good as most manufactures

I would suggest a 16 or 28 gallon bowfront.

Talk about a sweet sump!

ok, what is the best adhesive glue to put those in place? and this may sound like a dumb question, but do they make smaller glass pieces or how do i get it cut down to the size that i need?

Give Acrylicon a call. They can make an acrylic sump to any dimension you want as well as the baffles if you like. I've had both my sump and refuge made by them. Acrylic is nice for you can drill in any location you like and add more holes down the road if need be. They are in the phone book and located at about 16th and Ames. Good luck!

To answer your question all you need is 100% silicon to glue the glass together. You can get that at just about any hardware store. As for the smaller pieces of glass you should be able to get them from a hardware store as well. In the past I have had Ace Hardware actually cut a piece of glass to size for me. BTW the acrylic idea is a good one for all the reasons Tom stated, but I'm sure it will cost quite a bit more then a pre-built glass tank, some silicon & glass.
