Question

Who here makes sumps or has one???


I need to get a sump made I have a brand new skimmer and it will not fit in my sump I have now, I have bought a tote and it will not fit,than I bought a 10 gallon and that will not fit under my tank with the other sump. so I figure I might as well have one made or if anyone has one I need it to be 12" wide-no longer than 36" and it can be up to 16" tall..if anyone can PLEASE help me out that would be GRRRRREEEAAATTTTT!!!

Thanks
Garrett

just go buy a 29 gallon and glue in some baffles. It will be considerably cheaper than having one made. Unless you have $ coming out your ears. Otherwise JG24 makes them.

I have a 20 tall that I did that and it is just a bit small.I used to have a sea clone and I made a chamber for that but ofcourse the skimmer I got is way to big. I guess I could just take out that baffle and I might be able to get it to fit.

Kevin did you use glass for the baffles or acrylic?

If your referring to the turboflotor you've been working on, A 20g high or 20g long should be sufficient. Unless your running a real high flow return pump, you shouldn't really need any baffles especially if running an external return pump......

glass, I've heard of people having problems adhering acrylic to glass. I just called up my local glass place and got 3 panels for around $20 plus a tube of silicone.
