I finally got up the nerve to just do it on my own. I have been waiting on people offering to 'help' plus being swamped with school this semester. I need my sump back and to stop using the 40 breeder for my refugium :D
So... I had at it today. I read over the instructions I was given. All seemed well. I sanded down the edge and got it all ready. I got out my weldon 40. I didnt order a hypo application, but after doing a quick search, it looked like a needle that I give my dogs there shots with it. I got the larger diameter needle and poured the stuff in. Went to try and squeeze it... HUM... I think those instructions were for weldon 3 or maybe even weldon 16. Note to anyone who does this, weldon 40 is VERY thick.
So, I got it to pour out and made a huge mess out of the seam. Probably more weldon 40 in the corner then needs to be, as well as all over my hands. I made sure it went in the seam and then gobbed on a bunch in the corner and placed a piece of acrylic in the corner that butts up again the corner. I was going to put two pieces in a butt them togehter, but I had such a mess and it set pretty fast that I justs scooted it in the corner. I do think its going to hold :D I went to take a pic but my camera was out of batteries.
Its not pretty, but :D its hopefully fixed. It better be, because my spouse is coming home and I didnt tell him about this mishap. I figured he didnt need to know that my tank was in shambles once again! LOL I will post pics in a few hours.
