    +1. You can get a 20 long for about $30 bucks at PetsMart. Have the glass cut for the baffles to make a sump/fuge out of it at a glass shop. You will end up with something much better than those wet/dry's for a lot cheaper.

    And you really don't even need to use glass. I just got a piece of acrylic from Home Depot and used silicone to attach the two. Now......silicone used this way is horrible if used for an outside wall. It will not hold water and you will end up with a flood. But for a baffle.....no problem. A little leakage is no big deal.

    But if you do, you need to remember to cut it narrower than needed, as the acrylic expands a lot more than glass. If the fit is too tight, it can expand and blow out the glass tank ;)
