Hello there everyone! So i made a 55 gallon sump out of pvc board, i filled it and it seems to be holding only had it filled for a 7 days and it didn't leak. I just want to know if anyone else have done this before i give it a 100% on my new 300 gallon tank.
its 6' long by 20'' wide and 12'' tall (only going to keep it at 9.5'' max then at 10.5'' i have it drilled to drain so theres no over flow)
The base bored is 2 peaces 4' and 2' 20'' wide i Joint routered them together, then also did the same with the sides on opposite sides of the base( but only 12'' tall)
both ends i didnt router i glued them in as you would any other acrylic tank.
I cemented all the boards together, then even put 2'' wide broads over the seams on all the jointed peaces, plus added silicone over the seams after cement.
do you think i will be okay? i used heave duty cement and also the normal red cement on some spots one side is a 1/6 off so its not 100% flush but i will just shim it up.
Really guy's,Lady's What do you think??
also just took random pics
