allright so i did a dry fit under the tank and it fits, but i am thinking i might just buy a clear plastic rubbermaid container and put the SL50 in it and cutting some of it off or drill holes to add more water volume, to make a refugium then glueing a piece of acrlylic around the pump and keep the water level high enough to flow into the pump area, so sand and all the refugium stuff does'nt go in, is this a good idea or should i not put acrylic around the pump just incase the water level in the sump drops down and no water can get in ie running the pump dry, i am trying to think of everything that could go wrong to prevent any major damage.
thanks
