    Re: Had to Build a new sump.

    I hope it does im having to do bail bonding plus i just started my own gun smithing business working out of my shop at the house to make a little extra income . I built a 29 gal sump last night got the tank at petsmart for 50 bucks. Only good thing about my old setup crashing is that now i have room under my tank for a top off system and other goodies.
