Emergency - Need Acrylic Sump ASAP

[Suncastle1]

Tried upgrading my return pump but drilled the hole too close to other bulkhead so neither bulkhead will fit. 180g tank. Where am I going to find a new sump on Easter? Help. Thanks

Maybe you could get a piece of acrylic and weldon to patch the holes?

+1 best bet!

The holes are too close together so the new bulkhead wouldn't fit if I covered one of them.

Well: 1. it's an emergency & 2. you're ready to buy a new sump...so cover BOTH, and drill a new hole (carefully)

Where can I get the acrylic? Home depot, Lowes? Thanks

Yes, I'd 'weld' it on inside the sump so the pressure is pushing it against the sump...just in case have some silicone available to seal the edges,...if you use a large enough acrylic sheet, to cover both holes, you could re-drill 1 original hole to use

I have an acrylic Sump Drilled with a 2 inch bulkhead hole but don't have a bulkhead. Pm me if interested. It's about 35 gallons and I used it with everything from a 75 to a 140 gallon.
