Your sump projects always amaze me. Hopefully one of these days I will have the nerve to try my hand at acrylic.

Hey melev sorry that you have to stop that amazing sump build, but I am excited to finally meet you tomorrow. Ill be the heavily tattooed kid askin you all sorts of questions. I want to apologize now...... Just kidding man but I am pumped your are coming here though.

because your doing that in your living room (because its too cold outside, and there isnt much room in the garage)
does the solvent effect your parameters on your temporary holding system? i have heard that painting will, as well as it being Winter and there isnt as much CO2 exchange during those months, i wasnt sure if the weldon would.
thanks, and it looks good!!!

I love those orange squares. Very handy.

I like the home-made 90's with the hocky pucks that I'm assuming are magnets. Cool idea! I'll probably copy that for my own shop. Where did you get the big magnets?

Oh, and the sump is shaping up well too. Any chance you could post a sketch of the final layout?

Me and Phil honed in on the same things. Leave it to Marc to use power head mags to hold acrylic to the jig.

are they the magnets from the vortech power heads?

Interesting.

The fumes aren't a problem. You don't even notice unless you stick your head in the sump.

Yes, old Vortech magnets are perfect for this. I had Ecotech send me some rejects a while back, and used some old ones I had and a couple I got from my lfs.

Sump looks awesome! Im sad I wont be able to be at the boston reefers mtg today to meet you but im working. The worst part is I work just across town from where the mtg is being held! Maybe I will sneak over during my lunch. Lol. I also heard there is gunna be an acrylic demo that I really wanted to see since I have a full sheet of 1/4" acrylite cut to size in my basement waiting for me to glue for a new sump. Wicked bummer.

now lets see it plumbed! been hearing about this famed new sump forever, good to see it coming together!

Hows the sump build going? any updates or new pictures?

yea marc, hows that going?!

You are so lucky! there is no way that I could take over my living room like that with my fish stuff. I missed the tank install. Where is the pics for that? how is the sump coming along?
