40B Sump Cracked
My sump decided after a month to crack the entire length of the back and leak 15 gallons of water.
I have the cheato and the salvaged water running in a 13 gallon tall trash can I use for RODI. The whole filter is now a trash can! I am off to Premium Aquatics in the AM to buy an acrylic sump/fuge. I assume there is nothing to do or worry about. My sump was bare bottom, just the cheato and a few snails. Thanks. Justin

Oh, and sorry to hear.

Looks like the baffle was too tight. Hence why it cracked. Acrylic does expand, so leaving a bit of room between acrylic baffle and the glass is a very good idea

$1/gallon sale at Petco going on right now. You can pick another 40B up for pretty cheap.

Yeah, I would take advantage of the petco deal. Good luck with your decision, I guess I'm lucky I have tile flooring.

I just went up to Premium Aquatics and purchased the Trigger Systems Ruby 30L Sump. Nice piece of equipment.
As for the baffles, could be, I made the 1/16" smaller than the width. Good point. Nice thing was this came from the $1.00/Gallon sale.
