Looks great bro. He might get mad at me for putting his humble craftsmanship out here, but check out hooked's new sump that he enhanced (for some clever ideas). Turned out awesome with alot of thought. You both are designing something very similar.

It's a Diablo I'll get the tooth count in the morning cause it's at my shop, cut 1/2 and 1/4 real nice.

There's a place in Fort Collins "fc plastic" there off prospect 10 min off interstate they have everything u need weld on applicators etc and will pre cut the acrylic all u need to do is prep was a learning experience for sure.

Good deal.....

Was thinking about making a sump this summer. Been reading and watching vids. Do you really just use that thin glue stuff and it basically welds its self together?

Go to reefed learn all about it. There is going to be an acrylic demo if I remember correctly.

Cool Thanks
There is a huge thread on R2R on all of this too, been reading it for awhile, thing has been split 4 times.

Did you end up cleaning the edges with a router after the cuts, or the Diablo cut them smooth enough you didnt need to?
