Ok folks,
As you might know, I bought a 55g tank for a sump just to realize that it was too tall. In the meantime I would like to set-up something for a temporary fix until I can make a trip out of town to get a 30 long or something similar. I can't afford an acrylic sump like I would like to have (but I dont' really need since my pump is submersed).
What I am wondering is who here is using rubbermaids or tuperware for sumps? How hard is it to get a good seal on a bulkhead? Which type of rubbermaid is safe? SKU's from walmart would be helpful here.
I am figuring I need 3 of them. 1 for the skimmer/heater, one for the return, and one for the refugium? I may hold off on the fuge until I get something a little more permanent?
Any suggestions? (Suggestions that don't involve BRW vs J Crowd, or pictures of your cars please!)
Thanks
Dave
