I actually got the idea and design for the sump from Melev's Reef, so I've kind of been trying to use his idea's. As for gluing I don't want to actually ''glue'' to partitions together, I'm looking to use the Weld-On which will actually bind or fuse the pieces together as 1 with a clean/clear finish.

Does Methylene Chloride do the same thing as Weld-On? How much more available would it be to purchase locally?
Glueing .. Chemically welding .. I use strictly methylene chloride for my joints, no weld on. It's water thin, and you'd only need at most 30ml to do a sump.
