Red Sea Stock Sump vs Stealth

[Brent Behringer]

So I'm working on my Red Sea reefer 250 build. All my parts and equipment have been ordered, and I have my basic build planning and thoughts outlined. I was thinking of popping for a larger sump like the Crystal Reef Aquatics Stealth 30" vs using the stock sump red sea provides. Thoughts? Insight? Also, is there a marked to sell of the brand new glass sump and ato reservoir?

Is there any reason why you would need the other sump? I would think you could spend that money on something that you don't have / need to get.

 

[Brent Behringer]

Few reasons. Money isn't an issue. Larger volume (almost double), larger fuge, more room for my skimmer and return pump, probe holders and actual fit of my 4" klir. Stealth sump is almost 6" longer and 1" taller.

Since sumps are pretty much whatever you like so I would go with whichever fits your needs. I am sure you could sell the red sea sump to someone.

I agree that if you want the sump that is more suited to you then get it.

Well the acrylic baffles to turn a tank to a sump are roughly $100 so I'd probably try and get 1/2 what the new sump cost

 

[Brent Behringer]

Super, thanks for the input

 

[BullyBee]

Plus the name alone is enough as a selling point. I’d even buy it if I didn’t have a sump already.

No they make Crystal Reef Aquatics Stealth 30 that he says he wants or well they used to. They have been only clearing remaining inventory for like 4 months

tried to contact them a month ago but they have not replied yet.

Ya they have gone out of business. I bought a custom built synergy reef systems sump
