Pick up where I left off...
Sump building time!
The sump that came with my purchase as I mentioned in a previous post was far to large. It nearly consumed the entire stand.
In order to make room for the closed loop pump, i figured i needed about 12 inches more of room.
In order to keep the cost of this build down, I completely disassembled the sump, into its various piece, and spent endless time and razor blade scraping silcone
. Since the glass was only approx 6mm thick I figured i could get by without any special tools.
I scored the side pieces and cut thme perfectly to the length i needed. THe bottom panel had to be different it was thicker glass (approx 8mm). I scored the glass and when I snapped the panel, the snap line broke away off the score line
So I had too order a new peice of glass. I really wasn't upset about it just trying to save a couple bucks
This photo the glass sides are silconed together.
This photo the glass sides and bottom I believe are silconed together.
Preping to silcone the inside
Completed sump!
I'm very happy with the way it turned out.
