friends,

I am starting my research for my 400 gallon build and am having trouble finding custom sump builders ( most premade sumps aren't big enough ) For all you DIY people let me just stop you there, I know some of you are going to tell me it's easy but I do not trust myself with anything that could leak. This is mostly because if I spill more than a drop my husband will withdraw his support for my addiction and I'll be in big trouble.

I live on the west coast of Canada so they would have to be willing to ship here which is surprisingly difficult to find. The only thing I have found so far is a dream box by Royal Exclusiv.

Anyone know of a good supplier??

Wish list :
- Filter sock compartment
- refugium
- reactor chamber
- skimmer chamber
- obviously a return pump chamber
- probe holders
- love to have a lid
- Acrylic
- look kinda sexy ( this is my dream tank build after all)
- around 100 gallons

Thanks so much R2R peeps!!
 
Bashsea hands down. They do plenty of custom sumps and ship worldwide.
 
Also look into @Elite-Aquatics... they just built this 260 gallon monster. They can build you whatever you want! It's what I run and they are really reasonably priced, but still look amazing. Talk to Tyler!

Here's the one I got for my tank... and it's just an off-the-shelf one:
