This is a project I started in the beginning of March after I realized that my existing sump had a cracked in it.
I kept seeing water around the base of the stand but couldn't quite track it. I was filling my sump by about a gallon of water every day and the rate of evaporation seemed ridiculous. My skimmer was also working terrible and while changing out the pump with a new one, I discovered the crack.

Cross post of this from fw club forum, hence to the fw references and comments i make of the skimmer, etc. I had a couple people ask there about basic sump construction there,.
