    Default custom sump

    Does anyone here (preferably in WI) build acrylic sumps? I need a small one to fit under the stand of my 47G Coulmn tank. The sump dimensions are

    14Lx10Wx18H I'm using a canister filter now, but I would love to add a skimmer. I won't use a hob skimmer because of the micro bubbles that end up in the tank.

    Thank you
    Angie

    I build them but only out of cell cast acrylic. Do you want baffles, what type of skimmer, external or internal pump? Let me know and I can shoot you a quote.
    Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.

    Nope, no baffles. The skimmer will be an asm if I can find one to fit, if not I will buy a euroreef mini. The tank is only 47G so it should work. Internal pump if it fits with the skimmer. If not I will drill the sump for an external and install the needed plumbing. Basically just a box.
    Thank you.

    It can be done I will talk to my acrlic supplier and see what the damage will be. I think I can find an asm to fit along with a pump too.
