Here's a pic of a sump I just built, you'll notice that there are extra bits.... I didn't plan it out that well (I thought I did but I was having a brain fart) it's water tight, 24x14.5Hx11.75 wide. You may also notice that it's got a pan (drop down area) that's where the water will sit while waiting to go back to the tank. The Kent float valve will be hooked up to the Kalk reactor in the next pic.http://www.canreef.com/photopost/data/500/420Sump_1-med.JPG?272

This is a Kalk reactor I built, you may notice the tubing going in at the bottom, that's where the water from my supply (jug) goes in and it flows out the top as needed for auto top off. The blue air valve is there to help remove air that gets into the container.http://www.canreef.com/photopost/data/500/420Kalk_Reactor_1-med.JPG?8224

LOL Jesse, darn you for asking. Well, the flange thing Jack was asking about SHOULD have some gasket material and some nylon bolts and wing nuts but I put the Kalk in and then siliconed the lid on. I've not been able to find gasket material so I had to make do.
Thanks for the compliment.
