hey im building my first sump and was wonding if 1/8 inch plexie glass is thick enough for baffle or should i use 1/4 inch? all the help i can get will be great and thank you all
 
Don't use plexiglass. Use either glass or acrylic. I'd suggest glass because it is dirt cheap. Just go to lowes and they'll cut it to the length you want.
 
I mean acrylic. Lol I have a 1/8 inch acrylic sheet will that work for baffle in a 20 gallon sump or is it to thin?
 
1/8th in is too thin mine split, ended up with glass maybe doubled it will work, be sure to scuff the edges or silicone wont stick.
 
Oh ok thanks I'm going to use quarter inch instead and thanks for the suff tip
