FlyboySMB · 12/23/2009, 03:23 PM

I'm building my first sump - Great thread & info BTW

It will be made out of 1/4 inch material 18x27x10 (WxLxH) 3 section (skimmer - return - fuge). I'm wondering how small I can get away with on the top cutout flanges - 1 inch or do I have to go with 2 inch?

Using WO-4 as the bonding agent

Is it wrong to "plan" on running a bead of WO-16 on the inside of all the main joints or should I wait to see how the joints look?

Thanks,
Steve
