7ft acrylic sump small leak

[BBQHILLBILLY]

Hopefully I will get the 8ft tank running soon. Sometime back I tested the 7ft acryllic sump and there was a small leak near the 1st baffle.
What should I get thats here in town to help seal it better near the 1st baffle?
Thanks

You mean the actual sump is leaking water or the baffle is leaking? I'm pretty sure any aquarium silicone will work just fine to repair that baffle leak, if it's the sump and it's a seam leaking I would suggest some acrylic weld on. Most lfs carry the silicone and the weld on is available at H.D. or lowes

its the acrylic sump that has the small leak. I have silicone here but acrylic will bond together to prevent a leak. The name is "acrylic weld on" and its at Lowes?

The product is called "Weld-On" Yes should be available at Lowes

:bigsmile:I think I can do that. I have to open the window to pull the sump out of the stand. I would be grateful.:bigsmile:

Im gonna give this "weld on" a try. Seems simple enough.:bigsmile:
