Custom sump builders

Who have you used ? What are the lead times? I really am reconsidering the unit I had made and am thinking there are better ways.

Thanks

I just hate the skimmer water baffle I think it’s gonna let tons of micro bubbles through.
Drains should be in back not on side
I have this huge center compartment with 11.5” weir and I had to flip it around so now I need to plug all those old bulkhead holes and drill new ones.

I had it for a different tank that came damaged so that why drain layout is botched.

There’s also many bubbles in the acrylic where glued

Talking with posidens seems like what I’m after high quality and creativity

I’d like to see one with a Reverse Flow on the Filter Socks, with a Cage that goes inside to keep them expanded. Would make the Filter Socks, a lot easier to flush out.

I like MRC. I like that they don’t have cutouts for the lids. Instead there is a lip around the edges for lids to sit on. With the lids off the sump is much more open for access. If you want to change lids out or modify them down the road they are just square polycarbonate with no lip needing to be routed.

How long did they take to make it looks nice.

I think it was 4-6 weeks from when we finalized design - I did let them know I was not in a rush though as I didn’t have the tank yet.
