 Lexan I Have access to as much lexan as i want with machine cuts and was thinking of using some as baffles or making some diy things such as a calcium reactor but I think i remember someone saying that it isnt good or it doesnt seal good or something , or maybe it turns color or something .well anyway what are your thoughts.  |

| Re: Lexan If you go look at my build thread in the reef building section that is what i used for my pump baffles and my overflow. It worked really nicely and if you use enough sealant sealed up very nicely. Not a single leak in the overflow. It is holding good and has not changed color yet, but it may someday, i am really not too sure about that. I dont think a color change would really matter though, i do not think it would affect the strength dramatically. |

| Re: Lexan If you use the same glue as is used on acrylic and reef safe silicone it will be fine. |

| Re: Lexan Yea, native is right as usual. I filled my tank up and have had all that water pressure on an empty overflow for a week and it is still holding strong. I think you will be fine. Just make sure if you make the box you make it the right size, i made mine to small and the durso is a really tight fit |
