how much did you pay for the corian board........ive never seen that stuff....

I use this material at work. If you are wanting some, you might be able to call around to local countertop shops to see if they have any scraps. They should have some small pieces laying around that they would just be throwing out. It's very easy to work with.

how does it work did it hold up please take more pics

I haven't purchased the pumps or the pot scrubbers yet. The pot scrubbers will go under the drip plate and the pumps to return the water back into the tank will be on the opposite side of the filter sock.

Do you cut the corian with a masonary blade? If everyone keeps explaining this as well to someone as slow as me I'll end up with a sump at last!

It's an acrylic, so I just used a standard 80 tooth blade. The same one that I use to cut wood. The hole was cut using a rotozip.

Great diy sump. Where are the filter sock's from? I used to work for a Soap manufacturing company and we used them to filter out the really fine particle's.
