Ok, I've updated my idea for the fuge. Also stopped at Petsmart on the way home and found they had mispriced a Quietone 3000 pump (780gph) for $37... which I heard they're not the best pumps but that's pretty cheap. I did a new diagram, changed my mind on the PVC overflow if it's really that noisy. Found this overflow on Drs F&S:
Eshopps Overflow Box
Q #1, has anybody heard of these overflows? I mean, at a glance I don't see anything wrong with it. I'd probably be looking at the 800gph one.
Q #2, what's the best way to get dividers for the tank? I'm going to call a glass place tomorrow to see if they would just cut me some pieces and sell em to me, but just out of curiosity can I use acrylic sheet for the dividers and baffles in a glass tank? I don't see why not since it's just going to be silicone holding it in place anyways. I know home depot sells it, but come to think of it I bet they sell glass too... I remember watching my dad cut glass before, and he's not a man of "finesse."
