Build your own... Save hundreds.

And they work just as good if not better

I would but I'm not that well of a handy man. Lol.

It's really not that hard. Have lowes/homedepot do the cuts so all that leave you to do is measure and silicone.

I'll try it out eventually on my 13 gallon tank

Sorry to piggyback on your thread but do you guysknow of a good video to watch on building a simple sump?

Just go on you tube and type in DIY sump

A do it yourself sump is as easy as buying a glass tank and siliconing in glass or acrylic baffles that you can get pre-cut at the hardware store. Super easy and super cheap. I would never waste money on a prebuilt sump. Way too overpriced.

I just built a sump took apart a 80g display tank scraped and reglued the panels the had glass baffles cut this way each compartment can be made to your own specs make sure you use silicone without mold resistant and such i used ge silicone 1
