I have just my one 125 gal mixed reef, when we first set it up I was given what looks to be a 40 gallon acrylic dual chamber for built in overflows and I some made a 2 separate chamber/refugium and protein sitting in the sump. I bet if a brand name the same design it would cost almost a grand..... I have tons of pods oh and I have a BRS dual reactor so instead of buying another pump we used our high powered main pump for the tank hard plumbed it and made a split off point and it's powdered by the main external pump.

Sounds nice! Do you have any photos? I'm a big fan of DIY and I've done most everything on my tank with as much DIY as possible. I've got another tank sitting in my garage ready to be made into a new, better sump for my system. I look forward to seeing your setup!
 
Thanks it's messy cuz it's been running for 6 years
