sump

[kclewis]

started working on my sump over the week and thought i would post some pics to see what everyone thinks. it is an old 70gal clarity plus flat back hex. i first cut the braces off of the top to provide more access to the tank. ive divided about an 8 gallon section off to act as a refugium. i drilled a hole into the divider to attach an overflow. then attached an additional baffle about half way through.

my buddy tugboat cutting the acrylic on the bandsaw

taped lines of braces that were cut away using the scroll saw

divider and baffle installed and clamped after glueing

Looks like an interesting sump. Hope it works as planned.
