    anyone had any success installing acryllic baffles in a glass sump? if so, what products were used for the installation of the acryllic?

    i've got a glass tank that i would like to use as the sump but want to add sections for refugium, return, and bubble trap. i've read about the weld-on products but that only works for bonding acryllic pieces.

    also, would power compacts provide enough lighting for macroalgae in fuge?

    if its glass to acrylic use silicone, if your gonna make a fuge along with a sump you might be better off keeping them in seperate tanks. and pc's can work over a fuge.
