Now that is creative.:bounce3: I would have kept the double sided viewing. Did you heat the acrylic, or just support it at the proper angle for welding it?
Where is your sump? In the cabinet below, or in another room?

almost looks like you have some sort of heating element in that copper pipe to heat just the bend?

Not copper I used a hair drier coil to make the heat line which I used to heat only the bent
