Tank and Sump…best company for custom built?
- Thread starter DjPhato
- Start date
In addition, there’s also Cade (though I’ve heard iffy things on customer service), Waterbox (no known issues I can recall), and Innovative Marine (no known issues I recall).
Outside of Red Sea, the most popular setups I would say are the innovative marine tanks.
Otherwise, there’s custom builders (as mentioned by @griss) or just the “standard” reef ready tanks from bulk manufacturers (though these likely won’t be as aesthetically pleasing without possibly doing a DIY stand or similar upgrades)

After some consideration I decided (and got wife’s blessing 
to create a custom built peninsula…i will need to modify a wall for it but will be done. Measurements should be 23x23x34….i was checking glass cages (tanks look pretty solid) but any other suggestions? Who build very reliable tanks? Is there a company that sells only the sump system, only the overflow/return or should I get everything from the same company?
Thanks!!!
I don’t need the stand since the wall will be reinforced, a cabinet will be inserted below inside the wall and this will be the actual aquarium support.

Awesome! Can’t go wrong with Glass Cages based on what I’ve read. Theres a few others but I can’t recall them currently.
The sump you can make out of pretty much anything, but the overflow I’d have built with the tank (whether you go with a full overflow, ghost overflow, or similar).

Quit posting while I am
They do have the sumps listed separate under “equipment and upgrades” but I’m not seeing a way to order them.
Might be something that needs to be called to order

Fiji is a brand thats been around for a bit (if I’m recalling correctly). That said from what I can find, it appears the main complaint with sump is the return pump chamber size.
Another brand to check out would be Trigger Systems sumps
I currently have an Eshopps brand and it works but the layout (for me) is terrible. It came with the tank when I bought it used though soo I can’t complain too much.
