Expanding my sump

[spongebob lover]

Put a few pieces of toilet paper in the water before you unleash your terror. Especially in the gas station.

LMBO!!!! :lol:

[Krish]

LOL!! Later man later

Here's the finished product (almost) I got a filter sock holder as well as a filter sock to try out when blowing off the rocks. I'll run it without the sock regularily and then when it's time, I can just slip it on for about an hour. I'm going to replumb the skimmer as well to push the sump over to the left some more The sump has been up and running without any leaks for about 4 hours so far. Thanks for all of the help everyone. I really appreciated it

Pretty darn clever Kirsh.
I hope the silicone and glue hold for you.

 

[Krish]

Thanks Finn! It's still holding strong!

You won't have any problems with that! Congrats.

Have you tired to run the level of the water OVER the drilled outlets? If it could leak, that would be where you may see it. Shut your pumps off to let it fill up over the outlets and see if you have a leak. I think I had some seepage there. I never used silicone , but it isn't leaking.

Nice Krish what type of weld-on did you use?

Thanks man...The water level is sitting about 3 inches above the drilled outlet all the time and no leaks yet If you look good at the picture you can see where it is submerged.

Now you did it(LOL) I think number 16. I bought it from the Nassau platics (the guys who built my sump) and they said that's a good one for glueing acrylic and plastic together. Works like a charm!
