DIY 75 Gallon Acrylic Sump

These are photos the corospond with the DIY 75 Gallon Sump Project. The sump was constructed with 1/2" cell cast acrylic using weld-on #4 solvent and the "pins method" of construction. The sump was put into service in early 2005 and easily handles 2,500 GPH of flow and does so bubble free. Sadly, the autocad drawings, renderings and dimensions for this project have been lost in the shuffle.
