Do Not Listen To Me!!!
So I put acrylic baffles in my 75 gallon glass sump. They have been working fine with the exception of a little bending from the water flow.
Well I had my return going at about 80% and decided to let it all the way open.
First the tank had a lot of white things in it from who knows where but then I noticed one of the baffles on the intake side(first baffle in the bubble trap) has come away at the bottom.
I decided to just get another 75 Gal glass tank and make a new one, thus avoiding a shut down of the sump.
I wanted to use glass baffles which I keep seeing is the right way to go with a glass tank.
My worry is that the glass will crack under the pressure of the water since the baffles are bending.
I know the acrylic will give but I am worried about cracking the glass.
Anyone with expertise have input on this?
I do not want to drain and reglue, I want to use glass as I keep reading to use glass in glass and acrylic in acrylic. Again my main concern is the cracking glass.
That and that I will have to start my copepod farm over booooo.
