There are 3 or 4 in Knoxville. I know there is one near bearden as well. If you go to the north peters one I work at batteries plus bulbs Stop by and say hello!

Design it to where the skimmer you want will fit and make a big refugiam too. Most places will have the footprint size of their skimmers posted on the website. Also you could look at a few factory built sump designs like trigger systems and do it like theirs. That's what I have and like it a lot. the way it's layed out and stuff. Now looking back I wish I would've done a diy sump. too
