I'm building a W/D...some ?'s

[rdefino]

I have a 210 main tank and 75 I'm using for the W/D. I pick up some 1/4 acrylic to use as the dividers.

What sizes should I use for where the drains come in? The BIO area, etc...?

When I cut the dividers. Should they be cut to be right up against the glass side? Or should I leave a little space for the silicone to make it's way between the divider and the glass?

Any other ideas would be great.

Thanks

You can cut it to the glass, the silicon will seal from the outside.

1/4 might be to thin and will bow

What about if I put 2 pieces of 1/4 together? Think that would help?

.250" will work fine as these are just dividers and not really supporting weight or pressure. Silicone from both sides and it will hold.

Percentage wise, 1/4 for pre-filter and enough space for the return pump to fit in, and the rest for bio-media.
