Just bought a 300gal looking for pictures of sumps to help decide on a sump for this beast. It is a Planet Aquariums 300 96X30X24. Thanks in advance Scott

Why not build your own? tons of used tanks out there, just get glass cut and silicone them in yourself.

I was thinking about building my own. Thats why I was looking for pics for ideas on different things. I used a 40b on my 120. was looking on suggestions for tank sizes. I will be using an external pump. so kinda scared to drill one too.

I have a 125 gallon tank I use as a sump for my 362+- gallon tank. As for drilling don't be afraid. It's easy, just go slow and steady and make sure the glass hasn't been tempered. I generally start my drill on a slight angle which keeps it from walking around on me. There are plenty of videos on the net of how to do it and it really is as simple as they make it seem. Congrats on the purchase!

I use a 65 gallon acrylic tank for the sump on my 300. I'd post pictures - but not much to see since I run without any baffles!

Drilling tanks is easy peezy. Use nice good bit, brs and glass-holes.com sell them. Start slow, and use lots of water to keep it cool let the weight of the drill do the work and just control the drill speed. I also have started using no baffle sumps. And been liking it lol but all I have in mine is skimmer and live rock. I'm using algae scrubber as algae filtration.
