    That looks like it would work pretty well. I might have to try that next time I build a sump.
    thanks for posting

    The concept is brilliant...but I wonder how it holds up over time.

    Even if the adhesive began to give out, it would be simple and cheap to re-apply.

    I'm going to be setting up my first sump soon. I just bought the tank yesterday and I have a couple questions. First, does this look like a good idea for a sump? Are there any additions you would make to this plan? So far my design is:

    Hey Kylie,
    Start a build thread and document your progress. You can see my sump build here:

    http://www.greateriowareefsociety.org/Community/DiscussionForums/tabid/78/afv/topic/aff/4/aft/16446/afpg/2/Default.aspx

    Also, here's some design docs from it here:

    http://www.greateriowareefsociety.org/Community/DiscussionForums/tabid/78/aff/4/aft/17397/afv/topic/afpgj/1/Default.aspx#17397

    In that thread, I posted my design and from that, got the feedback that I needed to improve the design and come up with my final design. I hope this helps. My goals for a sump were to have a refugium area and a macro algae for a tumbling ball of chaeto. I had planned to do an external skimmer at that time.
