Wayne n Kell Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hi Guys One of my tanks is a seven footer x 2 ft x 2 ft that is home to my large Cichlid's oscar's jag'e Geo's etc etc.. The tank has run a sump (prior to my owning) and has had the hole filled (glass plug and RTV), and the the overflow sheet running up the corner removed. I like sumps and have one of my smaller 5 fters currently running a sump. Looking for options (if they exist) to do the conversion back to a sump without emptying the tank.. Spoke to the guys at the local glass shop, they sugested using a sheet of UHMW (plastic) cut to fit with a couple of mm of high density rubber foam around the edges. Insert sheet 1 foot in from the end brace against the end and pump that end of the tank out.. Sounds almost too easy.. Has anyone ever used this method, if so was it sucessful.. My main reason for exploring the in situe option is i dont realy have the facility to house all the big fish for three days while the silicone cures. Any help appreciated Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
