Ok, so I have another question regarding my baffles...

With my previous sump designs, I got some pretty thin pieces of plexiglass, pieces that could easily be scored with a straight-edge razor. Because I am working with a 30 gallon tank now, I bought a much thicker piece of plexiglass. I have a nice plastic cutting knife but I don't know if it is going to do the job...

I thought about a circular saw, turning the blade around so that the teeth spin "away" from the plexiglass but I am afraid it might crack the piece.

Any ideas or do you think a knife will work?

Thanks
Scott T.
