Hi all,

I've had my Red Sea E170 Max for almost a year, and I want to add the optional sump to it. I know Red Sea sells the kit, but it seems quite expensive. The couple of pipes in the kit are at least 100 and then I need to find the original sump, which seems like another couple hundred. If I am going to buy a sump, I figured I could just get my own tubing.

Does anyone know the diameters/lengths of the tubes that should be purchased, or where to purchase from? This type of project is a first for me.

Thanks!
