I will be taking my time on this build as I am in no rush and want to do it right so I'm going with the motto "slow and steady will get you to the end"

One question who in BC sells Reef Octopus in sump skimmers?

Don't worry about plumbing. Its pretty simple. My first plumbing went really well and before that, I was pretty scared about it too.

Welcome aboard the Saltwater ride! Note that if your sump is glass...the acrylic baffles won't hold long...better to get some glass ones cut to the right size and silicone them in yourself.
Certain Reef octo skimmers can be had at www.reefsupplycanada.com while others will have to be ordered elsewhere

To add to my previous answer, it looks like goreef.com sells most of the Octo line.

Thank you I will look into both sites and thanks for the heads up with acrylic on glass

If your 30g sump tank is glass, acrylic does NOT bond well with glass. I would do glass baffles for a glass sump, acrylic with acrylic sump.

Another approach to your baffles is this: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume...bafflesart.htm

Save your from having to use silicone.
