Looking For Custom Sump Builder

[JawsD]

I have searched the forum. But I have yet to find a sump that fits my needs for my 300 gallon build. I am needing a 60” sump with refugium that I don’t have to rip out the worthless sock filter to place it in. I need it to have removable lids including the protein skimmer area. Love the Hmahli sumps but he is in Australia. And can’t wait 3 months for it before shipping. I also like Synergy sumps but they offer no lids nor do they offer reef mat sumps with refugiums and lids.and I want it to match tank red and black. Refugium can’t be clear to allow light to hit rest of sump. If I had the tools and skills I would build myself. But I don’t. I live in DFW area and need the forums help finding a builder

Try Tenecore, they do acrylic all the time.

Thanks I reached out to Acrylic habitat. I will do the same with Tenecore. Prefer a company that makes hybrid sumps pvc/acrylic.

The only ones in the US off the top of my head that do the PVC/acrylic thing are Advanced Acrylics and MRC. Not recommending either of them, just that they do it
You might(????) have better luck finding someone that can do ABS/acrylic since it's easier to bond. PVC construction is a bit different.

They did great job and they are local

I have reached out to Bashsea several days ago never heard back. I’m not going to chase companies to respond to spend my money with lol. Do love their designs. But you have to have customer service to go with it ‍

Yeah def the dude to go to. His sumps are insane. Good guy.

They are known for infusing glass with acrylic/pvc. Most of their aquariums have PVC bottoms on them unless you specify. I believe they are affiliated with fish gallery. They build huge aquariums as well. Specializing in acrylic.

I went with Poseidon in Florida . Custom build. Yury over at Poseidon is awesome. I would highly recommend for sumps, ATO tanks, frag tanks. Frag racks. Lids they can do it all. Just waiting on a few more things to be delivered to his shop the. He is shipping it out to me. I plan on posting a build thread. Right now I am just buying everything.
