Well, I bought a sump off of someone on nano-reef.com that would fit perfectly under my stand. Fits great, love the desing, only one problem......

:mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:

Well, the question, is this possible to be fixed for a reasonable amount? or am i looking at a total loss? Grr... between this and the guy who sold me a pump (that took him over a week to ship), im done buying used.... any help would be greatly appreciated...
 
weldon will fix it, drain it , dry it and run a bead of weldon across the seam, clamp it or put weight on it and all should be well. If it where me I would cut some thin strips of acrylic and put them in the corner to ensure a solid seal. Might even consider doing all the seams. Then again I would probally have to talk to the seller first and try to rectify the problem by getting my money back. Good luck with whatever you choose.
 
Oh Im definitely trying to get at least most of my money back, and at the very least the money for repairs. Only problem is that it was an online sale, and you know how that usually goes. Thanks for the help, though, I will look into doing that. Where would be a good place to buy some thin acrylic strips?
 
good luck getting your money back, I know how you feel. A fellow member on here took me for $250. Paypal decided in my favor, but still didnt give me my money back!
 
Theres an acrylic store in the south end of orlando, not sure of the name but they should have it. PM Boostable he does acrylic work and may be able to guide you better. Also Piedmont plastic just north of daytona stocks acrylic as well as weldon. tap plastics and us plastics are good online sources http://www.tapplastics.com/ and http://www.usplastic.com are the sites. If your in the deland area I have a piece of scrap 1/4" by about 7" wide and 48" long your more than welcome to for a frag or something little.
 
Sorry, I didn't mean US Plastics!!! I meant House of Plastic on OBT, FARCO is also on OBT just more south. Again sorry for the confusion!!!
 
Boo! They're both not open on the weekends whatsoever, looks like im going to have to order some. Anyone in the area have a tube of it lying around? I'll buy it off ya....
 
I would suggest some Tilex and a good scrub brush...........................


Oh wait, the sump. Yeah, I would suggest a PM to Boostable too. I've seen some of his sumps and it appears he has a touch with acrylic.
