looking to build a sump using 1/4 acrylic and was wandering if anyone on here has an idea of how stong 1/4 really is....the sump will measure 48x12x24 with the largest water section being 15x12x15... going to have a top on it and many baffles to seperate filter sox, skimmer, fuge, qt, then heat/cool return. question is being that there are so many baffles will 1/4 work or should i use 3/8?

Finally was able to get my old t5's switched out for some new LED's! 72 cree 3w xp-e's, 36 CW (cool white), 36 RB Royal Blue). I am running them w/o optics for right now, but I am going to run 18 80 degree lenses, and the rest will be 60 degree.

So far I like the color of this combo, and really like the extra working room above the tank as well as these things take like no space!

Couple pics of the old:



And the new:



And with my Reef Angel controller I can create storms and cloud cover just like the more expensive units... but probably won't much with my jump happy wrasses lol
