Hello everyone I have a waterbox marine x 110.4 and the sump is great but I am getting some salt spray and would like to create a lid. I don't know what material to buy and I need to be able to drill skimmer holes and pipe holes
Thank you so much!

Not sure about your set-up, but I use socks in my sump to reduce / kill salt spray.

Acrylic is easy to work with if you do make a lid for your sump.

I have two socks and two sock silencers. What acrylic would be best?

I have a couple of acrylic shops near me. I just pick up scrap and us #16. It doesn't look professional but if you have more skill than me it can turn out very nice.

Thread on here
Make your own acrylic lids.
