    Default Sump

    Any opinions on this sump for my 26g bow front? Would I have to do any drilling on my tank to use this?

    Not bad...

    But I think you'd be better of with this one. Pretty much the same dimensions and I'll ship it "UP" to you for the listed price (special deal for a fellow Yooper!).

    LMK if you're interested,

    Tom, I LOVE your signature buddy!!! I would go with Toms sump, or build your own out of a small tank. You can get your local hardware store to cut you some plexiglass and you can stack CD cases to support, and shim the pieces while you silicon them to the sides. That way you can customize it more, and it saves you money. Also if you do it this way, you could make a larger one if it would fit under the tank.

    Thanks Vittleking. I'll second your DIY sump suggestion. Its probably better than the one I'm selling and definitely better cheaper than the one in the original post.

    Y'all gotta remember I live in a small town compared to down state. I don't have the resources available, like getting things cut. Aside from that I personally can't, nor do I want to try building my own sump. Id rather spend the money to get something that I need, want and like. One like in the original post. Thanks any way for the suggestions.

    thats cool. Plexi is very easy to cut though if you wanna try that route. Just use a straightedge and score with a screwdriver. Put the line on a hard edge and it will just snap right off.
