Not cutting involved I imagine?

Corian is awesome to use for a sump. I have one with corian dividers too (from JD_man) and it's easier to work with than plexi or regular glass. You can usually get scraps from a counter top place.

Corian is better to use in sumps, because it is non-porous, so it doesn't have a chance of holding any bacteria or disease. Like Levi said, most local countertop places throw away pieces that would be big enough to use for a sump. It's really easy to cut, cause it's basically a plastic. And it's always 1/2" thk, so it makes it nice and rigid.

Corian is the name brand, it's actually just referred to as solid surface. There are a ton of other brands out there that are just as good.

Any special blade needed for cutting?

I did have a huge layout I was gonna try and do, but of course it's changed slightly. I'll be taking the 110 tank downstairs and then I may be building a double stand for both 75's. The only tank I'll be missing right off hand is I have space for 1 more 20 tall. But hopefully I may have a guy to bargan with me. I hopefully will have some extra tanks as well if he really wants to get rid of them. So we can only hope.
