I weighing on adding a sump to my 29gal Bio Cube. I keep seeing used ones for a whole lot cheaper than the price of a custom built. What I'm wondering is if people have had any luck buying an acrylic sump, cutting the end off (using my table saw to ensure good square cuts) & sectioning it & using weld on to put it back together?
 
Yep, just once you make your cut you will have a decent amount of surface prep to do. I also recommend that you use weld on 16 instead of the normal 3 or 4. The thicker consistency will help with not having a perfectly finished edge. If you take time to flatten your cut ends then you could possibly use weldon 3.
