Sump Building

[gandolf8]

I wanted a bigger sump so I build one, This is build out of PVC Foam Board easy to work with better than Acrylic . This stuff is very light weight don't need special tool like Acrylic. Here is some Pictures and I use Weld-On 2007 to put it together. Any questions let me know.

Cool! This is the first sump build with foam board PVC that I've seen. I'd be interested to see an update or two down the road. Don't tell my wife, but now you've got me thinking about building a frag tank

Cool. I've never seen this material before.

Do you have to worry about bowing?

Sump up and running takes a look. Now as far as cost and time. The cost for the PVC Foam board 84.00 dollars for a 4 X 8 ft. sheet and were I bought it at they cut it to what I wanted and I cut some pieces I need. The weld-On 2007 and dispenser 66 dollars. And the time 6 Hrs. Off and on... Most I had to do was glue it together and cut some small pieces. So for 150 dollars made my sump and had some left over maybe to do one or two more all depending how big. Here is some picture.

SoiRNY the weldon can be purchased here in cuse its pretty cheap like less than $20 for a pint and a half and an applicator .
gangolf ,looks pretty impresive to me does the matieral flex under pressure in the baffles as your pictures dont seem to show it from the right angle to see if it does .nice job !

 

[gandolf8]
