    This will be a good thread. I like the details. Keep us posted as I would like to build an acrylic sump. Let us know about the welding of the pieces together. Good luck

    interesting you should type this, the chemical bond is weaker joining black and clear acrylic due to the dye used. all main joints are with 3/4". im keeping my fingers crossed we start cutting soon.

    EDIT: the builder found a new chemical to bond black/clear acrylic
