LF Best bang for buck sump info


Lowefx

Recommended Posts

Im tired of looking for brands or companies with good quality at a relatively low price. I know good quality doesn't come cheap in this hobby. I need room for my Vertex 150 skimmer, 2 reactors, heater, and return pump. Ohh preferably 36in long, refuge for Cheato, and an ATO resivour. All with lids to make it silent and lower evaporation. I know it's a big wish list, I just wasn't sure if I'm looking at all of my options.

Thanks for looking.

I figured as much. I'd like to have 3/8 plexi too. Geo makes one similar, and so does Bashsea, but both are $$$$.

How much width do you have to work with?

Not sure. I have a 40b in there now. It's all under a 120 4x2x2

Do you have a side wall with a door or a completely open front?

Reach out to Brendan from pure reef. I’m sure he can make a custom one for a decent price

 

I reached out to Pure Reef via the forum, never got a response.

For what it is worth, eShopps delivers pretty good bang for the buck in regard to sumps. 

 

Edit: their 3rd gen design is odd though.

I second for asking Brendan of Pure Reef. Leave a message on his forum page and he will get back to you with a price. I'm sure he's swamped with building reptile cages currently. I'll remind him to look at the forum...

I just picked up a 3/8" all abs sump from him- 40x24 and it's solid as a rock.

That's who I would have recommended since he's closer than most and has some established designs that you both can start with.

 

Let me reach out to Brendan and have him lay out how to reach him.
