Small Leak In Arcrilic Sump.

[averhoog]

How to fix but also is there a good way to find the leak. It’s in a corner so can only see two sides. Am I kidding myself that I can fix it without tearing it all down and resealing it. Thinking maybe just using an old 150. And addin some baffles?

if it's leaking then the seam is prolly failing, I wouldn't trust it. it could go boom

Yeah I have the other tank full of water to test it now

I would think you should switch it out as soon as you can, trying to repair with water in it is not going to work.

So, how did you make out, are you gonna fix the sump and exchange it. Hope everything went good.

New sump installed Sunday. Everything went well. Still have to tidy up wires and such. The new to me sump was just big enough to put all my extra rock.
