Ok everyone this is my first post. My name is Larry and I am setting up a 150g mixed reef tank. I have decided to DIY some of the if the things I need for the tank, ie the stand, canopy and sump. I have already started on the stand, I am building a steel frame stand covered in wood. I am waiting for quotes on getting it powder coated, and while I wait I want to get started on the sump. I am using a 40g breeder with the dims of 36 x 18 x 16 as my sump and using a ASM G3 skimmer which has a footprint of 11 x 12. I would also like to include a refugium into this sump.

It would be wonderfull ifi someone could answer some questions and comment on my design.

1. Can you install acrylic baffles into a glass tank, if yes how is it done?
2. What is the correct spacing for baffles?
3. What is the best flow setup for a sump with a refugium -
skimmer, refugium, return -
refugium, return, skimmer, if this is the best one what is the best way to set up the drain?
