Who are the custom sump builders?

[AZMSGT]

I’m considering a custom sump for my 625.

I want the same basic dimensions as my present unit. Just want to have a built in roller mat using the clarisea rollers.

built in probe holders

dosing drop points
Here’s the unique part:
built in algae scrubber

Do you REALLY want the full list?

Yes please!


well... how about the top 10? lol

A lot of the ones I'm finding make great sumps/tanks but don't do custom stuff (outside of minor alterations to their existing lines.) Harder to find than I was expecting.

Being in phoenix I would try Scott at TruView he has been building acrylic for years and just built me a sump I really like. His shop is in chandler and he is open to the public.

Elite Aquatics, Lifereef, GEOs reef, Advanced Acrylics are the usual top runners just to name a few, if you've got serious money to burn and want something awesome, Adaptive Reef. Fiji Cubes another one

Crystal Reef Aquatics announced, last week, they are closing down.

They were actually #1 on my list. (Love their designs!) But i have to look elsewhere now

How custom is custom? (strange question I know lol) Was is just a few baffles moved here and there, or do they do fully custom stuff? I always thought Geo and Elite Aquatics just do "slight modifications" to their existing lines.

I know of one member here who has a 100% custom sump from Geo, I think cost wise they do try and steer customers to there ready made lines with slight modifications as it would be much cheaper than going full custom...
