So it's February... Let's see that trailer!

How about an official trailer?

All my fish died and now my wife wants a divorce because she says I neglected her fish kids and will make a terrible father. She says the only way she will stay with me is if I convince an avast captain to make me a beta tester....

Well that's unfortunate.

Actually my fiance has grown very attached to my fish. She says if any fish die while we're on vacation she is divorcing me. Do you really want that on your conscience?

Thanks... really excited about it.

Thanks Iasac, you are of course correct. Marcos was my primary contact but it was a custom build by Aquabox. I would PM Marcos or Richard for pricing. Because each sump is highly customized, your quote may differ greatly from mine. Not really my place to publicly disclose either way.... hope you understand. I promise this though, their pricing is competitive and will be better than a lot of bigger companies out there with much more customization.

ERC / Aquabox Sump Review A++++++!!!!!!!!!!!! This review is long overdue. A while back I began my search for a sump that could support my new system. The new system is on track to support about 500 gallons so I needed something up to the challenge. After an exhaustive search, I became frustrated with my budget and what was available to me. I sought out numerous used and new options, all of which were inadequate or out of my budget. One of the first options presented to me was a custom Aquabox Sump. Thinking I could do better, I continued my search but eventually came to my senses. As has often been the case as I have pieced together this build over the past year and a half (yes it is taking me forever), Marcos aka Monkiboy came to my rescue. He worked with me on pricing and options, recommending options I needed, and being honest about what I didn't. In the end, I got more than what I paid for: A beautiful work of art straight from Aquabox. It arrived sooner than expected, was extremely well packaged, and he even threw in free filter socks and bulkheads! Marcos also kept me updated with photos of the build while in progress which was awesome. The end result? I couldn't be happier... Pics speak louder than words. For reference, the sump measures 48 inches long: The build: Installed: Note the 4 drain holes (I capped two for the time being) and the lid for easy access to three 4 inch filter socks! Drain chamber and socks I haven't placed the heaters yet, but these two heater holders will keep them safely away from my equipment and in perfect placement for efficient heating I needed an extra large area for equipment and my large Skimmer (Vertex Alpha 250). This sump easily handles that with room to spare 4 built in dosing line holders 4 probe holders mounted on the adjustable baffle. Disregard the messy install; I haven't had the time to make things presentable. I figure this review needs to go up before I let yet another month go by. Thanks ERC. Another job well done!

I am completely fine with taking credit for this guilt trip. Anything for the greater good. I'm just a team player like that! Seriously though thanks for the update. Glad to hear things are coming along.

Any updates? My wedding is in April I need this bad!

Sometimes we must destroy to rebuild. Looking forward to chapter two of endless subscription alerts in my inbox!

Yes and I nominate Bengeeee for first tester!

Sorry if someone already posted this. I realize it probably wont do much good but I signed it anyways. PETITION TO SAVE THE INVERT EXHIBIT! https://www.change.org/petitions/national-zoological-park-keep-the-national-zoo-s-invertebrate-house-open I will be there tommorrow with my niece whether it rains or not.

I just wanted to publicly thank Marcos for once again going above and beyond. I've known Marcos for a while now, having conducted extensive business with him in the past. He is extremely knowledgeable and is always willing to offer what little free time he has to help out his fellow hobbyists. I'm not sure if this particular transaction was technically affiliated with ERC (I bought an LED Evergrow light from him), however it still speaks to the quality of service you can expect from them as a company. I expected to pick up the item sometime next week. However, as a surprise Marcos hand delivered the item to my house shortly after I bought it. We live on opposite ends of the county so it wasn't exactly a walk down the street. This is just one of my positive experiences with ERC and Marcos. I have had similar above and beyond experiences with Richard. Thanks for all you guys do, and please keep doing it. You have a customer for life. Ben

Also upon ambient temps. Things can get pretty hot under a fish tank stand.
