Help me choose a sump/refugium please!

[esloan]

I am going to be switching out my CPR Wet/Dry for a full on sump with refugium. I have a 45 gallon cube with stand so I am a bit limited on space. My daughter got me a gift card for Father's Day and that is going to be used to purchase the sump.

I think I have it narrowed down to 2 different models but I would like some advice. Which would you prefer between the 2 models below? If you know of another sump/refugium that would be better, let me know. Keep in mind that I am limited to about 24 inches long under my tank and that I do not want to go much over $240.

Here are the 2 models I am looking at:

Aqueon ProFlex Modular Model 1

Eshopps R-100

I would consider just making your own with a tank and baffles. It is cheaper and you can make it to fit the equipment that you wanna use.

What size tank?

Aqueon Proflex. Models 1 through 4 depending ranging in size/price. I got a 3 and love it.

I'm probably going with trigger systems for my new tank but they aren't cheap
