Hey guys-

I have a Reefer 450, a few months back the sump seemed to spring a leak, so i ended up replacing it with a Trigger sump. I've since had the Reefer sump on my patio filled with water and in all honesty I cannot locate the leak - so while I do know it's somewhere in there, it's likely pretty small. Red Sea wanted $475 with freight for a replacement sump...so these things aren't cheap! Anyways, if you're interested and are in my area and want to pick it up for $50 and see if you can revive/reseal it, let me know. I'm located in Summit, NJ. It's otherwise in great condition. Would make a great frag tank too!

PM me if interested

Thanks
Brian

Here you go, worked out great as it gave me some space to do an AquaUV on the return line!

hey i know this post was awhile ago... thank yiu so much for the pic.

Im confused by your plumbing. i see that you must have added the red sea 42222 adapter part and removed the hose barb, added the adapter to imperial plumbing and added gate valve. Right? but then it takes a couple twists and turns that are confusing...close up oics would be awesome
