Great Job! I love it. Thanks sooo much. Could you also include some dimensions? Also What software did you use to make this?

I do it that way because I found that sand likes to make its way outa the fuge and after some time it will build up around the pump and get sucked in to it. also it helps in slowing down the flow.
