Default Moving to next phase- Basement Sump setup

Had been away few weeks from the forum. was trying to complete the Basement plumbing and Sump setup along with leak test. Had a few disasters along the way with my DIY skills..
Story told in pictures below..

Stand for the Sump. Re-using the Carton in which the Tank was delivered to make for the Sump Stand.



My 55 Gallon Acrylic Sump


Tonga Rocks- These will be the life in the Reef


Levelling- Ensured the level was perfect before the leak test


Sump Setup-Basement



With the UV and Return Pump


Had a small goof up while drilling the sump. My drill bit gave up on me while half way in the drilling process. Since the acrylic was too hot..it developed these cracks. Luckily they were from inside and had tested for leaks for a few days. Also got the sump checked from ORG from where i had bought it. They confirmed its good to go. Phew...

Disaster averted....




PS- Please do post your feedback -ve or +ve if you like this build thread..
