25g lagoon reef

[sinelli]

Hey guys!

I am new here at Reef2reef, but you guys have been helping me for 3+ years! So thank you very much!!

Recently I've been building a new reef. I intend to keep all kinds of corals.

So, for this setup I purchased the new 20 gallon black series from Inovative Marine. I did my research and for cost/quality/benefit I decided to go for this one.

My first plan was to setup this tank installing a overflow box in the back connected to a sump, but after doing a research, I decided that making a 1" drill was a safer option.

For the sump I decided to build one myself. I ordered the acrylic sheets:

Looking good so far, just a few questions. Why did you choose to use silicone and where did you order your acrylic?

Thanks! I actually used acrylic cement both 3 and 16 and I ordered my acrylic from a factory. I found them on EBay. If youd like to know more send me a PM and I will give you their contact[emoji1360]

I had the same thought with the 25 lagoon to make a small frag tank.
