making your own fuge is better.

my fuge is somewhat small i believe. i regret going 20L sump, i wish i did 40-50g sump. the bigger the better.

Is this what I am looking into??

If I were to make my own..where do I start, to I just go and buy some acrylic or glass and build the entire thing...or is there a base you start with?

Wow, looks a little complicated...but if I got a walk through after getting the stuff for it, I'm sure I could pull it off. What do I start with?

you can buy your own glass or acrylic make your own. to make it easier for you, you can just buy a 20L tank and get few pieces of acrylic at HD and glue making baffles.

Dont waste your money on those!

OK, well I could give it a try I reckon!! So a 20 long, some acrylic and 2 Power heads are my first for sure purchases!!

This will take me a while to get everything, especially now (Christmas season), but I know what to keep an eye out for at least!

Thanks, and nycsicktank plan on lots of communication from me once I get going on that

more water volume is good of course but you have to watch out for the heights under your tanks. 29g has too much Height.
