Slanted baffles, I think you may have started a trend!

Thanks It was my first DIY!

Using the Tank Water Volume Calculator I calculated that my 40 breeder sump will hold a total of 31 gallons. Not bad... but I wish I would have made the bubble traps higher so it would hold more. I could have made a stand for the asm g3. Still I am very happy with it!

I hope you left enough room for backflow if your check valves fail....

Good job on your first DIY job!
I never thought about using tape to hold the panes. We used wood blocks.

 

[Woodstock]

are you modding the G3 at all.. the gate valve mod is easy and very good one!

Probably the gate valve mod but not the ricirculating mod.

I hope you left enough room for backflow if your check valves fail....

Yes Sir!

[Woodstock]

Thanks for the encouragement! It was fun!

In a few weeks I will be retro fitting the canopy with MH and some type of actinic lights I will use my Hamilton canopy until then.

Sasquatch, it is a 40 gal; as it is now, it is only holding 31gal so I have room for 9 gal more. Even if the check valve fails, there is plenty of room to hold any backflow. I will use the same auto top off I have now. The reservoir will be kept right above the return pump on a shelf... the float switches will be placed in the center section along with the phosban reactor and skimmer.

Brotha... 13.5" I thought you were referring to the glass baffle
