    LS,
    Sump looks great. I went in and ordered acrylic at Regal today.
    CE,
    Did you do anything different to seal the acrylic baffle than the glass ones?
    CRMike,
    I know I saw your overflows (for those that haven't seen they're sweet and QUIET) but not sure about putting them together. I have a couple of questions for ya at the meeting.
    Thanks again to all for your input.

    I had the glass cut at a local glass company


    The only thing I did to the acrylic is I used sandpaper and roughed up the edges so that the silicone would adhear to the acrylic. To cut the teeth in it I just drilled each hole 1" down and 1" apart then used a drimmel and very slowly finished cutting the slots. The one thing I did not do was when I drilled out 1" from the edge I would drill a couple more holes between the edge and the hole 1" down. It will make dremmeling it out easier

    I wish I could come for a meeting but it is about a 9-10 hr drive for me just to SA
    Some people are like slinkys, they are really good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
