Custom Sump

Funny you should mention that Knucklehead.... It took me 3 buckets and an entire 5 minutes to find a leak on the bottom. I saw a big stream of bubbles through there. I must not have pressed and held long enough. I have no idea how those guys do the museum pieces with no bubbles. Years of practice I guess. I'm going to do another pass with the Weld on 3 in that section and in others that look sketchy (with bubbles).

Yesterday I ran another bead of weldon 3 down the edge. that basically did nothing. Today, I ran a bead of weld on 16 down the edge. I'm not sure if that really helped anything either. I guess I'm just gonna have to use good old fashioned 100% silicone to make sure there are no leaks. I'll do that tomorrow.

So far so good. Weld on 16 looks like it fixed the leak on the bottom. I'm doing an overnight test in the garage which might lead into a 2-3 day test just to be sure before I put in the baffling, skimmer shelf, etc.

Thanks all for your help!

No leaks at this point. I'm stoked!!! Next up, creating the skimmer shelf and baffling.
