Nice job!! Clean and effective!

Thank you. First time doing anything like it. Drilling the "drip plate" was a pia. It cracked a few spots. But I feel it doesnt much matter on account of its function. Lol
 
Any time you can make something yourself, and get the results you were after is day to pat yourself on the back. Again, well done!!
 
That's kinda how I feel bout it. Plus I'm all for a diy. That way u get what u want instead of having to settle
 
What do u think the cure rate would be in 95° and about 75% humidity
 
I'd give it 24 hours to be safe. 36-48 if you aren't in a hurry
 
Ok. Cool. I was figuring 18-24. I just hope my powerhead is enough til then lol. Its agitating the surface. Plus lights out soon anyway. So I think itll be fine. I hope.
 
The project came about bc I was pulling the sump to clean and remove sand. I started with polite and that crap got everywhere bc it's so fine of sand.
