40 Gallon Breeder

[paulhines]

I'm looking to use a "40g breeder" (36l x 18w x16d) as a sump/refugium. Are these available at most fish/reef stores, or is it usually a special order? Guess I'll have to add some interior glass and acrylic.

I'm thinking this will end up a lot cheaper than a custom acrylic one.

Does anyone have one taking up room that might be for sale? I'm in Lakeland, so both Orlando and Tampa are reasonable drives.

Thanks

i think they usually run somewhere in the $60-$80 range from all glass. The store might not have one in stock but it shouldnt be a problem for them to get one for you.

honestly i recommend just getting an acrylic sump.. John over at FAOIS makes them for pretty freakin cheap and it has holes and what not for filter socks and he'll drill it for you and you can get bulk heads ect from there.

I got a AG appx. 36X17X12. I want an overflow, find me one and it's yours.

 

[Gimplar]

no to highjack, but mlivvy, you could try and drill the tank? unless you know for sure that it's temper glass

 

[mlivvy]

no i'm saying i have the tank he wants. and i'd like to trade for an overflow or cash for a used overflow.

Thanks Mlivvy. I really think I need the 16inch height though.

I might have an overflowfor you though. I'll look for it tonight and let you know.

[paulhines]

Yes, perfect height! ... and I have the overflow. Just found it (all the pieces). How do you want me to describe it to you?
