    Sorry Leslie - think you are stuck with it... but phone a perspex supplier and ask if there is a compound available to do the job...

    Sounds interesting ... so if you add a nice sump you could end with say a 120 - 150l of tank .. - think such a configuration could make an interesting setup indeed - what filtration are you planning to use?
