Wanted: Larger tank for DIY sump project

Post by Sethjamto »

I'm looking for a used tank that I can use as a DIY project for a 300g DT that I just picked up. I'm thinking somewhere in the 65-100g size range for the sump. What do ya'll have laying around that I can buy to turn into my sump?

No problem Andy! Glad I could hook you up with those lights! Are you getting all of them?

I need to get back over there for the skimmer and Reeflo dart that he's holding for me.

I started buffing the 300g tank the other day. It's some work, but comes out SWEET looking! I'll probably finish polishing it this weekend. Can't wait to get water in it. I'll be calling you once I do for some corals!

Well the 300g build is coming much slower than I hoped, so I'm still looking for a sump.

Looking for around a 100g tank that I can drill for external return pump an external skimmer. It doesn't have to be pretty, just needs to hold water!
