    Default Sump leaking

    Does anybody have a ready-made or homebuilt sump sitting around they might be willing to loan for a few days, or perhaps sell? Mine appears to have sprung a leak and I'm worried about leaving the tank w/o circulation for the 24-48 hours it'll take to silicone partitions into a new one and let them cure. Anything that would accommodate a Euro-Reef ES5-3 skimmer, a bunch of sand/rock and a chamber for the return pump would probably do. The leaking one is a 20-gal long aquarium partitioned into 3 chambers.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    i could make you one tomorrow evening, would be ready to install on friday. your tank would probably be ok for that long with some powerheads for circulation, just put the contents of your leaky sump in a tupperware container with a powerhead also. pm me if interested.

    At this point I'm questioning whether I actuall have a leak or if I'm overflowing one of the chambers. I'll let you guys know what I figure out...thanks for the offers.
