Sump buy vs build ... maybe

[hostage46]

So I've got a real nice custom 24" cube coming, I'll build the stand, and likely the sump. But I'm curious where I might look to buy one ready to rock.

Web search reveals way too many choices. I'll be running an external ehiem pump, ATO, dosing, no skimmer to start, but I'd like room to add one later.

Suggestions appreciated

I say go custom and build it anyway you want it. The first sump I ever had was a pre-made one and I didn't like it. I then used a 55g and made the chambers exactly how I wanted them and was very happy with it. Now with a new tank, I will be modifying a 40g breeder into a sump with chamber to fit my needs.

Avast is making a DIY sump.

Melv's reef is an excellent resource from what I can tell...
