Hi

I would have already bought it.
you can cut the gussets out and fiberglass over if your using as a fish tank
hence get better overall water flow with no dead spots and better DO
distribution.
Or what a great sump.

cheers Lou

If the siphon will not start there is not enough water flow.....if it will not stop there is too much.

I nearly got it Erich,

Just a clean up and a few holes in the bottom to bog and fiberglass up,flo coat the outside and you have a nice looking 1300 litre fish tank.

Just a quick note on you pH I have left mine and plants are going gangbusters now 7.2, I wouldn't touch yours unless your plants were not looking good.If you do adjust it now,I reckon you will just have to add something sooner to buffer it back up.

BTW if you have to do that I have heaps of lime,once again to last me 65 years,so if you need some just let me know.

Cheers.
