Aio that can convert to sump?

[Krzydmnd]

Hi all! I'm shopping for a new tank and my current living situation really only allows me to set up an AIO tank but I recall seeing one in my research that had fixtures in place to plug and play plumbing to a sump setup. I don't remember which system it is! Any ideas?

Check out @Bob Escher thread. He converted JBJ 45 to have a sump. There is a video as well.

Waterbox is coming out with a line called "Silver Marine". They have a Silver Marine AIO and a Silver marine that looks like an AIO but comes with a sump. I wonder if you could plug the drains and return and use as an AIO and then eventually use with a sump later down the road. They will have mor info. coming soon on the Silver Marine product line. Maybe an option.

Did you let the AIO chambers flow as normal or what?
