WTB: Sump or large tank for sump

jules77 · 01-10-2005, 09:46 AM

I just thought I would throw my feelers out and see if anyone had a decent tank laying aroiund for a sump. I have a 125 RR with lots of room underneath. Looking for something between 40-55 gallons that won't cost an arm and a leg...
If anyone is able to build a custom sump I would be interested in hearing what type of cost would be associated with that as well.

I have a ~40 gallon acrylic sump that I made. I will sell if I decide to part out on my setup.

Costs Figure arounmd 100+ if you custom it yourself

reeftanktime has a 45 for sale. PM him if interested.

You know, you just missed it, I just sold a 55g with no center brace (it never came with one, so extra think sides), I know the person who ownes it now doesn't have any water in it, I could try to get it back if you don't find anything...

(I would much rather see it go to use than just sitting around...)

I am thinking that a 40L would be a perfect fit. The 45 reeftanktime has is very tall and would not allow clearance for working on the sump after the fact. I guess I am looking for something in the 16-18" range in height with a large area for ref.

40 long would be too long to fit under a 4 foot stand as the tank is 48", that is of course if it is not custom acrylic.

I have a 30 gallon sump that is 36" long that would work.

It's actually a 6Ft tank Jerry

yup 6ft - 33 long or a 40 long should work but those are both odd size tanks. I am going ot price out having the pieces cut by my acrylic guy and see how that compares price wise.

call FLP and check on a 40 long price. 651-464-8982 they had some used ones there before for cheap.
