What ever works! :lol:
I rather not a rubber made, though....I would like to show off my filtration to guest. They might think my tank's leaking.
Need something that'll look good to me.
I am limited in space in the stand of my 46 BF, & can't find anything that really fits.
I think first you need to work up what size will fit under your tank. Then decide if you want to built it from scratch, acrylic would be the way to go, or if you could just buy a fish tank and glue in the baffles.
I would recommend against having your skimmer draining into the sump as pictured, you will get inconsistent skimming as the water level in your sump changes thru out the day. The outlet needs to be elevated above the normal water line of the sump, not below it creating a back pressure on the skimmer.
