Hello everyone 
I am in the process of upgrading to a 75g from my 55g. Originally i was going to transfer the overflow/plumbing/sump to my new setup, but i feel that it will be difficult to sell a 55g with a hole in the back and no filtration, and that the old sump is a bit small for 75g.
I've been looking for a sump that can really tick most of the boxes for me. Should be really easy because everything i want is super basic, but i cant find it in a 30" layout.
I'd like a sump with a decent sized refugium section right under the drain lines, no filter sock holder, and skimmer section after the refugium. This basically leaves me with the trigger 34" or the synergy 34", both of which are to long for my stand (i have an external reactor and dosing containers next to it).
Currently i'm talking with Geo's Reef about a custom sump, and it is a pretty fair price (~$550 for anyone curious). Who else should i be talking to about a custom sump? I really like the MRC sumps, but i cant justify ~$800 for a sump thats more basic than a $400 one. What other brands offer custom sumps at a normal price? I'll be emailing bashsea soon as i'm happy with the sump i currently have from them.
1: Is there anyone out there that makes something similar to what i'm looking for in 30"?
2: What other sump manufacturers should I be contacting for a custom sump?
