Default Always a silver lining

Well as the title states there is always a silver lining. Today I built a DIY PVC skimmer. Worked great but leaked a little..... right onto the wall and into the electrical socket. Well long story short the outlet is shot and now I have to replace it. Well in between cursing at my own carelessness and praying a fire doesn't spring up I realized that I would need to move my tank. So I will use this opportunity of an empty tank to drill and install a sump . So I guess you could call this the start of my build thread I will more than likely begin tom. At least the tear down will begin tom. Take my stupid mistake as a warning....I was lucky I didn't burn my apartment building down. Be sure to test equipment away from electrical sockets.
