Sorry to hear about sump BC Mosaic
I've been worried about the same thing happening, or a pebble (zeolites) getting sucked into the main pump. My reactor has a crack on the top of it. I've lined the bottom of my sump with a piece of acrylic to protect it

I've been using Zeo for almost 3 years now and the thought never dawned on me. Mind you I think a 90 Sump may be more forgiving.
Sorry to hear of your leak You may want to support the glass with a sheet of foam insulation. At the same thickness as the distance between the floor and the glass J

Thanks guys.
The sump used to be one of my FW tanks. The glass is 1/4" thick so a thicker glassed tank like a 90g (?) will have more surface area contact with the silicone. I am completely convinced that using this reactor exacerbated a problem although if left alone (no reactor pumping) it would have not materialized to become a problem. Regardless. I had a chance to vent  and had my suspicion confirmed and a happening that could occur to any other glass sump with a Zeo reactor or any other pumping required reactor. Something to be aware of or else just get the "screw type" reactor.I'll be taking the lid off my reactor permanently and just spin the handle and if really need be I'll use a plastic rod to stir it up.
