Custom sump - where to have it made?

[ZURCSREEF]

Andrea, if you don't mind, pm me the price you paid for that, I remember a estimated price, but not exact... I would like to add a couple small mods to it, but that is about exactly what I want.

Thanks,

Very nice. What are the dimensions on that sump Speckled?

 

[Speckled Grouper]

It's 48L x 20W x 18H. I have a ASM G4 skimmer in the right compartment, the sump is actually turned around under my tank, but that doesn't matter. I have a filter sock in that same area. The egg crate trays come in handy when you want to run Carbon etc.

I will need it at 40"Lx18"Wx16" tall, I want the same exact baffle setup, just might have to reduce the refugium area a bit to fit my g4+ in the "skimmer area".

Looks good.

 

[Speckled Grouper]

The G4 and the G4+ have the same footprint I think, it's the pump that's different, 5000 vs 9000, am I correct? My skimmer fits very comfortably, if you need to cut it down by 8" though, just make the fuge shorter, no problem, it's rather large. The last compartment can't be much smaller though.

 

[ZURCSREEF]

No, G4+ is stubby, shorter, and it comes with the sedra 9000, foot print is alot bigger. Reason I am going ot have to make it shorter in length, is so it will fit underneath my 120g cabinet... Please pm me the price you paid for that sump if you dont mind Andrea.

Hey mike heres the one I ended up getting today that I ordered online. Its 36 x 16.5 x 16 tall

 

[ZURCSREEF]

Nice, how much did that cost and where did you get it done? Is that a Euro Reef skimmer?

 

[Abengochea]

its was 223 shipped, no its a reef octopus nw200. Thats the reason why I ordered the bigger sump since I couldnt fit the beast in the one i had

 

[ZURCSREEF]

Ahh, I see, 223 shipped is not bad at all, very curious as to who made it for you though, I would want it 4" longer in length, 1.5" deeper and the same height... more baffles some something to connect (2) 1" bulkheads to at the top for the drains. My only thing is figuring out if its going to overflow if the power goes out, or if it will be able to support the excesswater that is in the tank... I don't know, still got alot of searching and thinking to do, but would like to get some estimates on what this things going to cost.

Thanks for the comments/suggestions/input guys. I appreciate it.
