I would be concerned about the crack in your sump. If it let go, you'll have a big flood. Jmtcw.
+1 and well spotted!

It might be ok, but one day it might not. If your happy with the repair then fine but if your in any doubt replace it now before you get the system running or it will be a much harder job. If your worried it will also spoil your enjoyment of the tank.

Welcome to R2R as well!

Someone brought it up to me and told me to fix it with a better solution but I thought the clear silicone would hold for a long time. Was thinking I could just replace it later on but now I’m not too sure
