I know I said earlier that it was expensive, but that is when I thought you were only replacing the end section.
As long as the build quality is good, this is a steal!

The force is flowing through me, pretty soon it'll be the water LOL
I've added a few new rocks in the back wall to give more shelve points
They look so natural you don't know they weren't part of the wall before.

Well this week i changed my sump from a leaky ***** to a great clean polyethylene $610 new sport sump lol.
They just can't resist.....
Its not plastic or white acrylic its polyethylene which the heat up and join together, so their's no glue at all. So it won't dry out of get unstuck .
You can see here where they melted the 2 piece and stuck them together. only chemicals can alter its strength .
I had to destroy on site my older one because it was impossible for me to remove it alone and even with a friend her configuration of 2 module made it difficult at best.
So armed with a hammer.......
Its more difficult than you think, the glass was surprisingly strong.
It fits perfectly. It needed to be 57"long because of my piping .
Everything fits nicely and lots of room to spare for reactors and other pumps if need be.
My 2 return pumps, sorry for the dark picture, it was evening and didn't use the flash lol.
