![]() Melev is a great resource for sure. One of the things about building any kind of tank is tolerances. Do you have access to a table saw for cutting your acrylic. The measurements have to be exact and the finished edge super flat (no score marks)
I"ve built a couple of sumps so if you want more info on the pin method and which glues to use you can PM me Mike
