Leaking acrylic trickle filter

[2reefs]

Couple of weeks ag was cleaning the cabinet and saw couple of wet spots next to the sum. Did not think that I had a leak. Moved the sump today to the other side under the tank and the cabinet was wet.

After I did more cleaning I put a sheet of bounty to see if I have a leak and voila the paper is all wet. So here is couple of questions.
1. If I take the sump out and replace it temporarily with a 10 gallon tank so I can fix the leak would that work? I will move the bio balls to the 10 gallon.

2- I want to use live rocks instead of bio balls. Can I do it in one shot?

3- how do I repair the sump?

Thanks,

Sal

Yes you would be best off moving a 10 gallon in its place. The acrylic can possibly be repaired with weldon. Im just not sure which # you should use or how the crack is.
