Big Clay Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I have a 40g breeder that i want to turn into a sump. Does anyone have any tips or know someone that can do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 River City Aquatics has done many a breeder sump, or they will get you the glass. I am sure one of the diyers will chime in soon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I made my 55g into a 3 chamber sump for my 180g DT. It was very easy using acrylic and Silicone. You just have to decide where you want the baffles, cut them to fit into place, mark the outside so they are straight and then Silicone in place. I waited 3 days to make sure the silicone was dry and then started filling. It has been in operation for 18 months and works very well and still holding very strong. You can use glass as well for the baffles but since I have live rock in my sump, I didn't want the baffles breaking if a rock fell against them... If you want to come look at it, feel free to PM me.
