Lovely.....sump has a slow leak

[usingthejohn]

Was Cleaning up under the tank when I noticed a small problem....mainly a puddle of water under the sump. No leaks from any plumbing but I assumed I knocked something over. So I cleaned it up.

Checked under stand 2 hours later and saw another puddle from left to right of sump. :mad:

Looks like I have a leak. Now the search begins for a temporary sump...

yes it was. I called advanced acrylics in Jurupa, CA and told them I emergently needed a new sump as mine was leaking. He asked me what size I needed and then said to come by at 230pm to pick it up.

For those wondering, I just went with a 48 x 20 x 20, 2 sections. Return section is only 10" wide, with baffles set at 8"
