    Here is my 75 gal sump/fuge for my 220 build. I used 1/4'' glass for the baffles. I got the tank for free because of the broken center brace so i drilled and bolted a plate to the top.
    More pics to come.:)

    what kind of bolts did you use to create that new center plate? most will rust away fast if they get near the salt water.
