    Custom built acrylic is not cheap. Unless money is not object, I would try to find a good used ones. I have a 20 gallon and a 100gallon for sale.

    Cost of the sump itself was $500.

    There may be others for sale on the forum as well.

    My custom acrylic set me back $400. not cheap as Gordon said. You might be better off buying a retail acrylic sump or wet/dry in terms of price and design. At least you won't have to worry about design.

    Hi Tony :

    I think your are the original owner of my sump. I was actually trying very hard to see if I can use it for my SW. It about 5" deeper than I like. I may keep trying if no one wants them for a give away price.

    yes Gordon, i believe you have my old sump. Its probably deeper than most out there as it was built for my 400.
