I sorta started this conversation on another thread, but didn't get far with this piece and my G-3 skimmer is coming today so I'd like to find a solution soon.
Because of my corner stand (triangular), I can't do one big sump. I use two. One is for the return and one will be for the skimmer. The skimmer sump will overflow into the return so that I will have a constant water level. The problem is that I can't find a container that will fit for the skimmer. I've been to Home Depot and other places looking for any plastic container that will work and no luck so far.
Here are the dimensions:
12" wide
13-14" deep
15-18" high
I can't go under or over these params because it needs to be big enough to house the skimmer and small enough to fit next to the other sump. Ideas? ATR will make me one for $100 that fits perfect, but I'm still swallowing the $260 bill for the skimmer so I'd like a cheaper option. It only needs to be some sort of waterproof plastic container because I don't really care what it looks like. Obviously, transparent would be best. If I go over these parameters, I'll have to replace both sump boxes to make it all fit.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Having a G-3 to replace my Red Sea skimmer and not being able to use it yet will be torture!
Thanks,
Clint
