Who could have foreseen talk of a sump named Steve could lead to this direction?! I think I blame Doug. And Laurie. Anyone but myself at any rate.
So, original pieces are the bottom and left and right panels. The short baffles are old but the tall ones are new. Instead of propping them up on something and waiting for the silicone to set, they are grooved out at the bottom so that there is still corner attachments at the bottom. So it's easily almost 50% new glass now. Plus the front is 10mm so hopefully there will be some enhanced structural integrity around the bulkheads compared to before.
Before it had two sets of baffles, now it's just the one. The larger chamber will lend itself better to water changes, I think. I'm trying to scheme up a method where I can use the skimmer feed hole for draining and maybe marking up the sides with gallonage ticks.
