I tried to move my sump to put the new skimmer in and it cracked!! does anybody local have any acrylic glue? I have a thin piece of acrylic I can cut to glue it. or should I just use lowes clear kalking?

Silicone will only seal not bond.  I would think you would want strength and seal.  I would look for some weld on and bond a piece of plexi to it. I've got some but I'm not very close.

It's really good to make the stand taller and/or the sump shallower. I like a sump where I can easily install/remove equipment, have enough room to get my head in to look around and to get my arms in to work on plumbing. I also discovered how valuable it is to make large holes so a wrench can tighten/remove/install bulkheads.

Aloha,
