I've read this thread through twice and studied melevs reef preparing to build a sump for my 390 project. I plan to build a 60x26x27 with a 30x26 fuge, sort of a modified model H. I plan to use extruded acrylic and weld on #4. My question is should I use 3/8" or 1/2 " acrylic. The local plastics store will give me scraps for free to practice gluing with. I ordered acupuncture needles already.
