Its a 40g breeder and it will have the return in the middle. Refugium on the right and skimmer section on the left. I will have pics later.

Glass they are not very thick though for what i wanted but its the thickest lowest had. It should hold though and my Refugium is only holding rubble sand cheato and calurpa

What is the thickest Lowes sells? 1/4" I hope.
 
I recently made one out of a 40g breeder with thin acrylic sheeting.....not a good idea. I filled it with water and turned the pump on. My drainage and return worked great, but my acrylic couldn't handle the water pressure, bent, and eventually came loose. Definitely a rookie mistake that could have been avoided with a little more research or just asking a question on the forum... [smilie=angry.gif] . Now I have to drain my sump and redo it with glass...

My advice is if in doubt....go thicker!
