    I have no idea what the proper amount is and it would have to be measured accordingly to your size of fuge as well as the requirements of your skimmer. That is why I suggest the split. That way you can change it as you see fit.

    hey guys i put the tank together. didnt do the best job in the world on glue the pieces together infact maybe the worst job in the world lol:tongue4:, made a mess between all the baffles :p but hey its ok(to make myself feel better:D). ill post some pictures of it soon. it has been almost 48 hours and the glue should cured by now. but being me i couldnt wait i did very quick test after 24 hours, put the garden hose in the tank and let the water move through the baffles it is going the way the way i wanted to :). i still have to test it with the actual pump that i will be using and with the protein skimer added on. so hopefully ill have everything up and running by tomorrow. ill keep u guys posted.
