R33F_NANO Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 I have the cut the top piece of the sump to be able to fit the pump in it was my first time making the sump so here we go. Can't wait to add those livestock in and hopefully no leak or anything crossing the finger:) Link to comment

captainbastard Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Lookin good, what's holding those baffles in? Link to comment
R33F_NANO Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Lookin good, what's holding those baffles in? One of my friend recommended the bathroom sealer from home-depot it work really good, he have his seal for 5yrs and still look good as new. I have to re-done my sump because I cut one of the acrylic/baffles too high and the water stay in the sump too much, if the electricity turn off it will be disaster Link to comment

I really wanna get a second one and see what kinda movement I can get in my 40br but I have so much other stuff I need to get!

R33F_NANO Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Looking very good. Why is the Clown in the fuge? He's getting too aggressive so I found him a new home. Thank you all for the kind comment Link to comment
