Acrylic Sump Design
 

I have access to some acryic and want to build my own sump/refugium or seperates im not sure yet and alot will depend on the pieces i can get cheap etc. i was just wondering if anyone had any tips suggestions or a how to sheet on gluing and bracing the design or thicknesses etc? I am still a newb so take it easy on me.

Check out http://www.melevsreef.com/allmysumps.html
there is a ton of info on sumps and working with acrylic.

Melev is a great resource for sure. One of the things about building any kind of tank is tolerances. Do you have access to a table saw for cutting your acrylic. The measurements have to be exact and the finished edge super flat (no score marks)
I"ve built a couple of sumps so if you want more info on the pin method and which glues to use you can PM me
