I need one or possibly two sumps made for my tank (depends on cost). Any idea's on who can make them for me?

36x24x20 & 36x24x24 are what I need w/o any baffles or anything like that, just a box that holds water.

I'd go looking for a tank at one of the big chain pet stores

Just buy a tank from on-line or your closest pet store

never really thought about that.... called a lfs & I can't decide which way to go

36x18x25 is about $150 which I think I will do as a mixing/h20 change tank
36x24x17 is $400 ish but will give me room for my skimmer. 36x18x17 is $90.... but worried it will limit me to much on skimmer fittment.

Debating on using a 75g down there instead of the 36x18x25, just not totally sure I have the room.... need to measure & figure out plumbing a bit more.

if you're on a budget, you could easily make one from as mentioned above. this will allow more flexibility as you can decide how big you want the skimmer chamber, etc...

id make it..out of 5 panes of glass and silicone adhesive. if you google or youtube tank building you can find a few videos and it isn't hard vie made a 30 long. if your willing to pay for supplies and shipping as well as a building cost id build it and ship it. im no tank builder though just a hobbits. but it would work. PM me if interested.
