So I am looking for a nice sump for my 2 60g frag tanks (48x24x12) each. one tank will be tiled for my high end acros and montis and the other tank will be more of a grow out for my zoas and lps but I have a feeling a few lower light sps will make their way over. I have a little over 8 feet of space under the stand so space for equipment isn't a concern hence why Id like to go as big as I can. The sumps I am considering are

Bansea reef 60x15x16 overall nice sump
Geo reef su46-pro-plus 46x15x15 smallest but most features
crystal reef aquatics 72x22x18 kinda best of everything but most expensive.

It’s hard to beat the crystal reef aquatics set up regardless of size.

Hands down Bashsea! With a twisted skimmer and the bio-reactor.

Look into the Bio-Reactor. Great piece of gear. Also, if you need a bigger a sump than what's listed, they'll make you one.

Of those three I’d go crystal reef aquatics. Like you mentioned their setup is nice, and it looks great. I’ve had synergy in the past and would not hesitate to buy another synergy. I currently have a custom elite aquatics I picked up from another reefer. It’s still sitting dry but the build quality is top notch.

I had them build my latest tank. I’d say it’s mid grade at best, not top quality like stated, shown, or hyped to be. Side note, I raised concerns about the flaws I had, they didn’t seem to care much.

Maybe their sumps will be better...
