I bought a new 30 gal tank and am going to build a sump out of it for my 90RR. My question is has anyone one ever used glass panels as dividers? I know a lot of people use acrylic but are there any benefits to using it?
I have made several sumps using glass or acrylic as didviders. The glass ones were stronger since silicone adheres to it . The acrylic is just easier to modify if need be but the silicone really doesn't adhere to it very well if at all.
Any special issues when using glass. I was going to cut it with a tile saw to smooth out the edges, but what about the silicon? Do I need to prep the edges with anything special?
