You could just buy a tank and put baffles in yourself ... isn't hard to do and will be much cheaper

My buddy with a 300g tank has a 125g sump he made himself.

when I had my 175g I made my own sump with a 110 tank. Find one on craigslist that doesn't leak for cheap. Glass for the baffles is pretty inexpensive considering the price you'd pay for a custom sump. Get some aquarium silicon and go to town. Make sure to plan it out in advance...post pics of your design for feedback or find designs that other people have posted.

Whats your location? Shipping and crating is not cheap so local pick up definitely has its advantages. But Synergy Reef and Elite Aquatics are both sponsors on R2R. I would suggest looking at some of their past work.

I was thinking about doing that.
