Hi all, recently had a custom sump built for my large tank build a few months back. Will not say the company name but let just say I would not recommend now. Long story short. This past week I finally got around to filling the tank. Tank has been filling via RODI and today the finally spilled into the overflow and down to the sump. Before the first compartment got a like 3 inches of the way filled I notice the other chambers all filling with water. 2nd has like 1/4 and last has like and 1/8. I have ordered some weld on 4 and 16 now and will attempt to coat the edges. However I’m now curious if I can’t 100% seal each compartment if anyone see any major issue. Given the amount of flow that is going to be rushing through this want to say it will not be that big of an issue and the levels will still hold but curious to hear thoughts before I get to aggressive with the solvent before they arrive.

Thanks.
