Sump Question

[Langemc]

Is it better to create a sump yourself or to by a sump from LFS? It seems like almost everyone here has taken an old aquarium and used it to make a sump

is there an article somewhere or a website that gives good directions on how to set up a good sump using LR as its biological filter?

is this method cheaper?

Did you read the articles about sumps? Click next to "forum" at the top of the page. I read it awhile ago, so can't remember exactly what it says, but check it out.

there is a DIY forum, with a few sump projects in there.

End result is you can spend $$$ at your LFS or save a bit of money and DIY if your handy and motivated enough
