$1229 for the acrylic tank. Drilled and center overflow.

Now I need to find a berlin style sump. I have found a few but they were pretty expensive.

I'm looking at picking up this Aqueon sump for my next purchase and running it in the berlin configuration with a protein skimmer. It is the model 4: http://www.aqueonproducts.com/products/proflex-sump.htm

Any other places to take a look for sumps?

You could make your own. Get a cheap tank off craigslist, couple pieces of glass from a local glass shop or Lowe's and some silicone.

Hmm...sounds better than paying $300 bucks

Why not just have your sump made to order by whoever is doing your acrylic tank?

I do like their sumps but not for $950 bucks.
