Number one don't put fish ,crab, or shrimp in as they only need a few days to eat all your pods. I have my refugium above my tank so the pods don't get mashed going through the pump.

Thank you for the response it is appreciated
Can you silicon plexi glass baffles to a glass tank? Or am I better off to get glass cut?

You can but Acrylic expands a bit when it heats up so leave a bit of room or it could snap your glass. It might not be as durable as glass but is possible most overflows are plexy and glued in.
