I used a 20 gallon and just used plexiglass for baffles. I attached the plexiglass with "poster hangers" and silicon. Some leakage but not too bad.

Yeah he is good, I already checked him out and I think abit too advanced for a first try at it. Seems do-able but I'm Just a bit worried about leaking when building the main part of the tank. Kinda want to keep away from building it completely from scratch also.

For the poster holders did you silicone them in first then slide the plexi in?

Then Glennrf38 ideas is the best. take an old tand and add some baffeles and away you go.

Why worry about leakage. My old tank doesn't leak. Just the baffles a bit. But the water seems to keep flowing where it is supposed to go.
