Just new to salt water tanks and tonnes to learn

One thing doing research on is finding a quiet pump for my own system and found this below on Mag Drive pumps, if you want quiet not the best pumps

Easto:
silicone does not stick well to acrylic/plastic. You should use glass baffles in a glass tank

I was really hoping to not have to cut glass or have to pay someone else to cut it.

hmmmm

Its really not that hard to cut glass. New glass is easier to cut than old glass.
I have gone to recycle places that tear down houses and bought old glass windows to cut to size. Or Craigs list.ca If its cheap enough, if you break a few, oh well.
Craigs list.ca here in the lower mainland, bc, you can also find free glass

The danner mag drive pumps come with an owners manual that recommends the outflow plumbing to be twice the size of the output connection.
