 Where to buy good sumps? It seems very hard to find good sumps at reasonable prices, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!  |

 Re: Where to buy good sumps? I would just make your own if i were you. You can get a cheap used tank and a few panes of glass for less than a sump, and then just get some glue and put it together. Save yourself some money. I do not know who sells good ones online though, i am making mine so i never really looked into it. |

| Re: Where to buy good sumps? You can easily make four good sumps for the price you would pay for one overengineered piece of junk. |

| Re: Where to buy good sumps? The baffle basically is a wall, I built my sump with some silicon and the help of my dad for $40 I built it in this order [Skimmer|||Refugium||Pump] I had an over under effect on the baffles (the | looking things) so it would decrease microbubbles and not allow sand to go into the pump area.

| Re: Where to buy good sumps? The center baffle in the bubble trap is touching the bottom letting the flow over the top. |
