Koi tanks from Tat is another good alternative for a sump.

There's one in my garage.

Ted, one of our LFS uses these tubs. They work great and are easy to drill.

This may do the trick. What kind of fittings did your LFS use on these?

Thanks again,

Ted

Basica bulkheads. We put a couple of 1.5" Heavy Duty SCH 80 Bulkheads into it. Standard 2" bulkheads should work also.

Taco,

I showed the picture of these bins to Dave B. He said that these bins flex and bow when you put water in them. Have you seen the big unit with water in it and did it flex and bow?

Thanks,

Ted

The larger one flexes a little. I'd say 1". The smaller one I linked to doesn't flex much if at all.

The larger bins have four holes on the bootm which will need to be tapped and plugged. The smaller ones have no holes.

Ted,

I'll take a couple of pics of some filled bins and post them sometime this week.

Ken,

Most of the SPS are doing ok. I have had some strange die offs but mostly the corals are happy. Fighting another algae problem. Seems to be one damn thing after another.

Yeah, still living with the busted sump. I'll probably take if off line and put a couple of bins on line at the end of December. That's going to require a rework of the plumbing.

cya,

Ted

Ted, fragfarmer (Eric) is moving his shop and has a few of the grey bins for sale. It might be worth a call if your still looking for one.

Ted if you want to do a major water change and dont mind Catalina, Ive got just about 800g in my garage. I can deliver 200g at a time. I had a 500 or 800 watt heater but it just died so I could heat 200 gal at a time... Im not sure how much your system holds...~600? anyhow I can hold up to 1200 plus some barrels and can get deliveries on tuesdays whenever you need it.
