I am picking up a 20b glass tank this evening and hope to build my sump/refugium this weekend. Can anyone tell me if there is a specific silicone I need to go with that is not only aquarium safe but will bond acrylic to glass? I have left over acrylic that I was planning on using for my baffles.
Also, any input on min. dimensions for the return pump area as well as skimmer/filter sock area would be helpful. I currently do not have a skimmer but want to be sure I have enough room when that time comes. My tank is a 45 with about 30 lbs of LR so I don’t need a monster but at the same time, I want to buy with the future in mind. There will come a day (hopefully in the not so distant future) when I upgrade my tank and I would like to have a skimmer that will handle something in the 150 g range.
Feel free to post any of your sump/refugium designs in this thread. Us newbees need all the help we can get. :up:
