I did the EDPM striping. You have NO idea how amazing this idea is, and how easy it was, i am very suprised more people have not used this idea.

Thanks JoJo! Probably would of never came across that idea if it wasnt for you.

The baffles are actually quite easy to get in place as long as you get them wet (which is stated in the instructions) Ditto to getting them out and moving if needed.

Do you think there is enough room to hold sand and macro algae as in the "drawing"? The total room in that little space is 6" long 10" wide and 6 5/8" high.

I would put the pump in the middle as it will give you greater control of the flow for your fuge!!

Any suggestions where i could place the baffles to make this a better fuge? Keep in mind its only a 10 gallon tank and it'll be hooked up to a 20 gallon show tank.
