    Hey bud looks great! I'm kinda with steve, is there anyway you can make a rough paint diagram with a water flow chart? I am really intrigued and even my wife saw the pic and was interested lol.

    Ok, I hope this helps. The water really does flow in the direction indicated by the blue arrows.

    What silicone sealant did you use after the weld-on? In building one this weekend I think also if I can get the design done and down on paper. Thanks, and it's looks really good!

    It was just some aquarium safe silicon sealant that I got from Lowe's. Nothing too expensive. The water tight seal should come from the Weld-On not the silicone as getting silicone to stick to acrylic is very iffy. I water tested it after just the Weld-On alone, not after running the silicone through.
