Building a DIY Sump (with Videos)
Sun, 11/09/2008 - 10:07
This is a very good DIY video on building a Do-It-Yourself Reef Tank sump. You can use a new tank or a used one. If you plan on using a used tank, make sure you clean it good and scrape the glass walls with a razor blade, but be careful not to cut any of the existing silion in the corners of the tank. Also, fill the tank up to make sure it doesn't have any leaks.
Materials needed:
- Silicon Sealant (make sure it's aquarium safe or you will kill or fish and corals!)
- SuperGlue Gel
- Narrow and Wide Masking Tape
- Tape Measure
- Paper towels for any spills
