I drilled my 55g - no problems at all.

But I did by a camera polarized lens off ebay (like $3) just to be sure it was drillable

Aqueon tanks can be drilled but not at the bottom unlease you have the bottom drilled from the company,first they drill it then temper the glass.....i believe

 

[jerl77]

Well I wanted to drill it on the side
Very low ... My idea was to have the water drain down to my wet/dry create nitrates if that's how it's spelled and have run Thru a hose to the refugium feeding my critters and then back up, if that make sense.
That was a fast explanation lolz .
Or should I just go with a 40 breeder?

[rkaragozler]

can you explain a little better, i'm not getting the idea

 

[DA fisherman]

Well I was going with the idea to keep the wet/dry 75 I have. that has a DIY hole so it can be connected to let's say a 10g tank (made into a refugium. That's how the guy who I bought it for had it .
The idea being wet/dry store/create large amount of nitrates where your refugium critter get fat on not including your fish bio-load .. But I decided not to go with that science project ..........and just setup a 40g breeder as my sump/refugium

[rkaragozler]

ok thanks for clarifying. 40 breeder is better

 

[DA fisherman]

Hey guys sorry but the 40 breeder never pand out :-/

So I went and bought me a 30g tank
36"L x 12"W x 16"H
What would be the best Measurement for the baffles ??? Being that I want my skimmer (bubble magus nac-3) in the 1st compartment , refugium in the 2nd,and pump in the last ....

Please need some help here ..
I've done a DIY wet/dry but this seams much different .

[bigdog1428]

Baffles goes over, under, over ,, and should be a inch apart

[rkaragozler]

Sorry for the late reply, as bigdog said baffles distance is determined by the pump you are using, the bigger the pump the wider the baffles.

 

[DA fisherman]

@ rkaragozler thanks man I used your measurements and it came out perfect

That looks awsome,nice clea job. you could run your water level higher in your return area if you want, and you will not get any micro bubbles, just don't go over the water level of your first baffle,

 

[DA fisherman]

Thanks again....... For the way I explain stuff I can't believe you understood lolz......
