Alright at this point I had brought the stand and almost complete sump in after the baffles cured for a week

The 75 gallon looks preet awesome under the 120 stand. Turned out really nice, with straight caulk lines and straight up baffles.

OKAY, okay... so this is the part were the corian sump sock holder comes in. Corian is a material used to make countertops if tour interested in making these.

Went thru the same process with these holes as I did with the glass, but just used a regular hole saw instead of the diamond coat hole saw.

Next photo you will see the brackets already siliconed on the tank where the sock holder will rest.. also installed a piece of windows rubber to make an even tighter fit. The glass has just a slight flex it fits so tight.

Here it is installed on the second chamber of the sump.

What did you use the first chamber for behind the filter socks?

That's where the drain lines come in and overflow into the sump socks

 

[Deep dive coral]

Interesting. So they wont go directly into the socks. Is that for ease of replacing the socks?
