36x12x12 = 22 gallons

30x12x12 = 19 gallons.



As for glass tank with acrylic baffles... don't do it. Acrylic and glass don't bond well due to lack of adhesive made for both. You either need acrylic adhesive or glass adhesive. Use glass partitions you can get cut at any glass shop.

This is learned earlier in the summer while trying to get ideas for an internal overflow.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
