sump needed

[DevilBoy]

i am looking to purchase a new or used sump that would fit in a stand for a 75g. I know people say you can build one cheap, but i am not to mechanically inclined to build my own. Does anyone know where i can possibly buy a used one? it would have to be big enough for my octopus nw200 skimmer to fit in too...

I have seen it in person and is like new and I am guessing from memory the bulk heads are 1" but don't quote me on that

PM me your email and I'll send some pics, but it looks like what you see on the website. There is not a bulkhead anymore, but the hole that was drilled for it is 3/4 inch. Let me know and thanks, Andy

i have a tidepool for my sump under my 54 corner bow front (in the stand), it work just fine for tight areas , i took the bio-wheel off and made a lexan shoot for the water to run down into the sump , very quiet , it holds my Berlin Turbo skimmer,heater, and mag 7 perfect fit ,,,does a very good job for smaller tanks , it also has the benifits of chem trays for stuff as well ,phos pad, charcoal , filter pads , whatever ,,,,if you run a filter pad be sure to clean it or replace it often ,,, i have seen the one Andy has ,,it would work just fine for your tank ,,,, easy to keep up with as well ,,,,,,,

not sure of your skimmer size ,,,i think the tidepool is 9 inches at bottom of sump 10 inches at the top (wide), they have a slight taper to them ,,,, depth wont be a issue ,,its pretty deep ,
