Does anyone have either an already made sump with a refugium or a prefab one lying around for sale? Also if not, I had to use goof off in order to remove silicon from a sump tank that I want to use if I cannot find one (baffles were all wrong 
) so my question is how can I clean the tank to ensure that there is no chemical residue left that could harm the fish. It is a 20l in my garage so I can do pretty much anything to it right now. Also does anyone have suggestions for how I should place my new baffles? Thanks! On to lighting… I was thinking about going with the Odyssea Quad T5 setup that I had before since I really liked the built in timer and led moonlights, it is rated as 216 watts and the price is right at $99. However, I was thinking about trying something like the Aquatic life EDGE led fixture. It also had a built in timer and blue lunar leds. If I did the math right this system puts out 330 watts total and is $162. So what is everyone’s input on leds vs. the HOT5s now that leds have been in use for a while? Are they sufficient for coral growth or should I stick to the tried and true Odyssea. I know some people had trouble with them but mine preformed flawlessly the few years I had it. I don’t currently keep any hard corals but may want to in the future and I do have a rbta. Also does anyone have anything similar to these for sale? I know I definitely need the built in timer since my husband and I are on completely different schedules and wouldn’t always remember to switch it. Can’t wait to get everything out of the 29 and into the 75 
Thanks for any help!
You can just use a regular single edged razor blade to remove the old baffles, just work slowly. I’ve done that before and it works great. I would stay away from the Goof-off since I don’t know what it will leave behind.
Or, depending on how much of a hurry you are in, the Petco $1 per gallon should come around again soon.
I don’t know about using goof-off to remove silicone. A had to remove a glass panel from his tank, strip the silicone and stuff but don’t remember what exactly he used to do it. If you’re just removing baffles, I would probably try to cut the silicone with a razor and scrape the silicone out as best as you can. Since it’s a sump, it doesn’t need to be the prettiest thing, just functional.
T5 set-ups are great IMO, I’ve used different ones over the years and my favorite was a TEK. It was cheap and very powerful. I just don’t think they’re as easy to find anymore as the used to be. I wouldn’t concern yourself too much on wattage, just remember for T5’s, to always use HO T5’s, which will always be the same wattage per different size of the bulb (60" bulbs are 80 watts, 48" bulbs are 54 watts, etc.) After that, there are so many different color choices of bulbs nowadays that it’s pretty much up to you and what you like.
LED’s are IMO the future. They’ve come a LONG way over the past few years and are great. The only hurtles you need to worry about with LED’s are acclimation and intensity. LED’s are unforgiving and they don’t look bright to the human eye especially over a tank. It’s so easy to burn up and bleach corals with them if you’re not prepared to take your time and ease into using them. There is a significant learning curve associated with them.
I probally have what you need
I didn’t use any type of chemicals when I took the glass panel off. Just the good old elbow grease and a new razor blade. Just had to change the blade often. I was looking into using some chemicals to take the silicone residue off, but none to be had that would be reef safe.
In fact I’m in the middle of another project right now, replacing a front glass panel on the 180g.
Didnt you have enough fun with your tank?who broke there tank? Or is it being replaced because of scratches?
Believe me I was not planing on redoing another one any time soon, but the neighbor 180 that he just got had a small chip on the side and it was getting bigger when we did the water test. So, it’s cheaper to replace it than get a new tank. Right now we’re waiting on the replacement glass.
