So I have finally narrowed down sumps for my RedSea Max E-170 and i'm looking for opinions from people who have these sumps on what they think is good and bad about them.

Reason's why I decided on these
  • I have a cube tank so sizing on the sumps was limited
  • I like the fact that the intake piping drops into it's own compartment and then flows into filter bag section
  • Both of these tanks also give me a Refugium section

Sumps I'm looking at are:
  • Elite Aquatics - RRS-22
  • Trigger System - Emerald D20C
If anyone has any thoughts on these sumps pro's/con's I would love to hear them

I have the Trigger Systems Ruby 30 sump on a 65 gallon reef and it is worth every penny. Hardy construction, easy to work in, and aesthetically pleasing.

I love my emerald trigger sump! Had no idea the difference it would make in ambient noise. So much better than my old sump. Only thing I wish was different: the lip that goes around the edge makes it impossible to hang anything from the edges.
