Looking for Sump Recommendations

[Impunitus]

Hey all!

I'm working on getting a custom tank built with Glasscages. With that comes the need to get a sump for the tank I'm looking to put together.

I've been doing a lot of reading and very much feel like I'm in a position of I don't know what I don't know and really want to make a good and proper choice when choosing my sump.

My tank will be a 60x24x24. I'll have s bean animal overflow with 2 return pumps. I'm still waiting on drawings from Glasscages to see what my available space in the basement of the tank will be as I'll have an integrated control cabinet in there.

I know that I do not want to do socks. I don't trust myself to be on top of rotating them, as well as the fact the wife would not appreciate washing them in our washing machine!

It seems like the Red Sea ReefMat is the golden standard of I do opt to have a roller in the sump. I'm thinking a 500. I also know I want a protein skimmer and a pretty sizeable fuge. That leads me to a 3 or 4 chamber sump requirement.

I was eyeing a Trigger Platinum 34 or 39 but not sure a ReefMat would fit in the first chamber where they have socks stock. I DO NOT want to use the Trigger roller. I have seen far too many complaints about it needing to be babied and I want something that I do not needs to putz with.

Does anyone any recommendations for a sump that fits the provided requirements? I could have Glasscages make one too, but was trying to find something off the shelf for the sump if possible.

Thanks!

Check out geos reefs, they have nice sumps.

Coincidently my newest tank is also those same dimensions , so was looking for suitable sumps which also accommodate rollermats.
I ultimately went with an ECCO3418. : https://luna-reef.com/collections/ecco-line-rollermat-sumps/products/ecco-3418-rollermat-sump

I also considered bashsea sumps.

My main driver was I wanted additional room in the stand for an ato reservoir and wiring/powerbricks/aquarium controller. The ~36in size worked out, with 3 usable chambers. While there are shorter width offerings, the 18in fits well in the stand.
The rest of the equipment is a rollermat 1200, RO Regal 150int skimmer, and varios-8 return for reference.

I would talk with @Joe Glass Cages about having them build a sump.
Get exactly what you want instead of making something premade work. I hate making concession's

Will take a look at these, thank you!

Having Glasscages build one was a thought and I'm not completely against it. I was just trying to see if something off the shelf existed before resorting to custom for the sump as well. This is a very large jump for me in terms of tank complexity and size. I don't want to make a mistake with a custom design and then be stuck with said mistake/missing something that is an obvious need that an off the shelf may come with already.
