Hey Jubbers - check out the planning stages for this tank.

Post # 11 talks about the sump.

Glass baffles were siliconed into place.
Do not use acrylic baffles with a glass tank as the acrylic can expand and break the glass.
You can get a lot of great sump ideas from this site too even though he makes his from acrylic

Sumps are really easy to DIY. Just plan well first!
First I had to find a tank to use as a sump that would fit under my stand.
I used a 15g tall AGA tank
Then I had to know what equipment I was going to use in the sump to determine if they would fit in it and also where to place the baffles to make sure they fit and worked at their maximum output.
