Unfortunately I cannot remove the sump from the stand it is in without breaking it. I am going to have to break out the sump and replace it with some kinda of modular sump system as its built in the stand below our 90!!!! 

OCD Reefs to the rescue!! Will be here within the hour! Mart P is on the way too!! Will keep updates..... Im a nervous wreck!

Drain the water int he sump down below the crack and silicone on the inside of the sump. Let that dry for at least 4 hours (don't use a super big bead of silicone) then put the water back in . That would buy you some time in trying to solve it long term. It's a bandaid to the problem and not a long term fix but it can get you by in a pinch.

With enough help you should be able to remove enough water from your tank to allow you to swing the stand away from the wall in order to get the sump out of the back of the stand in one piece and slide a new sump in from the same location before swinging it back against the wall.

Wish I was off today and I would come help. Hope you get it figured out. Krazie
