Jake can get it cut for you at Nova...likely...or anyone you know with a circular saw.

I actually prefer glass for sumps 18"+ in width. Something to consider depending upon application.

 

[EvilMel]

Is that because the plexiglas will bow over time?

 

[ct_vol]

Not necessarily just overtime, but if the difference in height of the baffles is too much the plexiglas has too much flexion to stand up to 18"+ width. Just my preference to use glass for 40b or 75g sumps.

 

[EvilMel]

I used plexiglas for my 40B and it's definitely bowing. I'm thinking of redoing the baffles because I want the design to be a little different.

Which is why glass would be the way to go for 18"+ applications... Good luck getting that cured silicone off though... That will be a PITA...

anyone know where to buy get glass at at i guess 1/4 in size for baffles. cut and sanded edges? also a approx cost for them. or if any of you guys work in a glass shop. thx

i would like to do my sump like a eshopps model r-100,but i dont see spending 200 bones for just a acrylic box with baffles? seems alot of money for something that doesn't cost alot to make..ya know. so thats why I want to do my own. and spend the extra on a lifereef overflow cause of the reviews and alot of folks saying if you got to do a HOB overflow, lifereef is the way to go.

Eh...it's not THAT bad. I'm just going to let it bow. When it dumps, I'll redo it then. No big deal.
