    I don't really know a whole lot about building sumps kc, but are the baffles crooked? The first picture makes it seem that way. I'm not trying to make fun of you, but I don't know if that would effect the performance or not. It looks good though, especially for your first sump :)

    Haha no, it's just the angle I took the picture from. Everything is straight!

    That's definitely a funny angle. I was thinking to myself ... it's only been 2 beers? How strong is this stuff? LOL

    Lol well the tank is behind my coach, and my dog was sleeping on it so I didn't want to push the coach back so I could fit and crouch down to take pictures, so I just leaned over weird and snapped it.
