For this job I would use a regular gun.
The power gun maybe to bulking & hard to control the flow.

Oh well my dad has a few of those too, yea we have caulk guns lying all over the place

Well the sump will have to hold off until tomorrow, I accidentally bought black silicone

Update
My sump is basically looking like a mini verion of JustLookings 55 gallon sump...

My black silicone, have to get clear tomorrow

Put in the egg crate and sponges and finished the chamber, just have to silicone everything in tomorrow and make the drip plate, and add bio media!

Looking good,
I searched high & low couldnt find blk silicone,where did you get it?

Big Als, Tamarac Fl, thats funny you cant find it because I didn't want black and I accidentally bought it.

Update...

I used a 1/2" bit connected to my extremely crappy screw gun which can only do about 8-10 holes on one charge.

This is the result of about 3 charges. haha

First water test with just a few bioballs. just checking for leaks between the chambers.

All I have to do if finish up the drip plate and buy alot of scrubbers!!

Oh yea the sump doesn't fit under my stand
