my first time building a sump (pic)

i ran out of parts when i was building my new skimmer and i had some acrylic sheets laying around so i decided to build a new smaller sump to go along with my new skimmer. it didnt turn out too bad but i have a long way to go with learning to glue acrylic together using pins.

Looks great to me. Hey, if you can build a cone, I am sure building a sump is easy.
