[faylor]

hey guys it has come time again for me to get back into the hobby. I am in need of a sump. bigger than 20 gallons would be cool 40 bredder/55gal stock tank dosent need to be drilled or have baffles in it although it would be cool if it did.
as far as price goes well have to talk about that i dont wanna break the bank if ya know what i mean. If you have something that you think would work basically im looking for anything bigger than a 20 gallon and none bigger than 55 let me know and well talk mebee at the frag auction which im not even sure if i can come yet. Work sux

Still looking, if i have to settle for 20 gallon tankx that would work i suppose ill just have to have 2 mebee even 3 plumbed together sump refuge stuff like that.
Let me know if you have extra tankx sitting around, they dont need to be pretty they just have to hold water I hear thats a good thing these days

I been using a 45G Rubbermaid container as a sump for 3 years now. $11 at Walmart. Plus you can drill it with a normal hole saw.

Good thought but, arent they a pita to baffle?

Do you have a refugium in there too? It seems like it would be hard to partition a tote into three chambers.

 

[Covey]

You don't need baffles

 

[jtesdall]

Why? Don't you hav problems with sucking stuff into your pumps?

Nope have the overflows output underwater and get a skimmer that doesn't micro bubble(well designed ones shouldn't) and you won't have any issues.

Even when I ran the MRC skimmer it micro bubbled like mad. I just put the skimmer output on the other side of the sump from the return intake.

Just think of all the TOTM that run those gray stock tanks.

No baffles there.
