More questions???

First off...thanks. You guys are all GREAT. This is a great place to come and learn from experienced people who are more than eager to help. Being a little bit lazy myself, who would you guys recommend to build a custom sump? Or who sells sumps that easily fit under a 46 gallon bowfront. Actually, the more i get into this i need a bigger tank. Who has a 100-125 gallon NICE tank in good condition for sale in the NW region.......just kidding.....kind of. Anyways, back to the sump question........

hehe, start reading your local papers and check out my lfs, there's usually someone getting out of the hobby! Good luck finding a bigger tank! I don't know much about sumps. but you'll get some great answers soon!!!

Heh!


Too bad you don't live down this way (upstate SC), I have a 135 with stand and VHO's that I want to get rid of...


As far as the sump goes, why not just get a 20 gal rubbermaid container. Easy to drill (need a 2&3/8" hole saw for a 1&1/2" ID bulkhead) to place an external pump, cheap, and at worst, you might need to reinforce the sides with a 2x4' frame to keep the sides from bowing. Either that or look for a scratched up 30 gal acrylic tank and do the same. No point in spending what it would cost to get a custom made sump for a tank that small, much more practical and cheaper to go with something DIY.
