success!

the overflow is 1/3 full and no leaks as you can see

(that small puddle there is from last time and does not want to dry)

i made a small plastic gasket for underneith where the plywood was a little uneven to help make a more solid seal. i also was a lot more careful with tightening the bulkheads properly this time and i didnt do any of the plumbing underneith until i was sure they werent going to leak.


i only had a very minor leak coming from inside the pipe (have no idea why cause its tight) but i think its pretty irrelevant as that water is just going to be going back into the sump.

im going to leave this overnight to make sure its good before i finish up the rest of the plumbing!

Still a hokey fix
Drain and do it properly so you don't have to start a thread called " crap my tank cracked and flooded by house what do I do now?"
