Glass sump silicone. Aquarium safe. As for acrylic I have to pass.

Ge GEO12A 100% silicone Is what i use.. If you cant find this type you can use anything that is 100% silicone.. MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE that it has no moldecide.. If you cant be 100% sure just use the Aquarium sealant from you lfs.. or order it from a website.. Only problem is that it is 10-14 dollars vs 4 dollars from the hardware store..

sorry matt i just found the part# wednesday during the cleanup..

Just answered one of my biggest questions recently. 100% silicone is the key.

Yea trashin on fords is soo awesome haahahahah. Im gonna use a glass tank with acrylic dividers will that make a difference and how do u think I should go about choosing the size of the sump for my 55. I think I'll be limited on size just because of my stand it has a center support on front and back and I barely got the megaflow in there. Is there a certain ratio of dt gal to sump gal.

I rememeber as a kid one of the sayings was "I'd rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy!" Which naturally led to the comments like "FORD = Found On Roadside Dead" to about having to push one from the other camp. lol

Man im sure there is a ratio. and ive been told my sump is unnecessarily large.. but the way i see it is go as big as you can with the space allotted.. if you dont you will regret it.. I would regret it.. if you do a 15g sump it will more than work.. if you did a 20Long sump you could add a refugium.. If you crammed a custom 30+ under there you could add a substantial amount of live rock and macros and whatnot to aid in the structure of your biofilter. If you built a second 55 next to it and went "sumpless" you could do a full on living refugium that would not only support your tank but look soooo awesome at the same time... Go big is both mine and Matts motto/way of life it seems.

At this point size of sump is being dictated by size of space. Keep in mind glass silicones to glass well as these guys told me. But I went ahead n added acrylic panels to my glass sump. Stay tuned for updates.

Hehe. I like Fords, well some of them anyway. Mustang, GT40, Cosworth etc...:) As to Chevy, well, won't really comment there, but if someone handed me a Z06 or something I wouldn't turn it down. :) My garage is full of SUVs currently though (Toyota and Nissan).

Not prejudice or anything just a funny saying. Hope I don't offend anyone.
