After losing my sump to an exploding heater I have had a hard time finding a new sump that meets my needs. I had an eshopps gen2 but it's discontinued. I have a skimmer and algae turf scrubber so I need the dimensions to be 30 inch total length with skimmer chamber being 10x, refugium section being 13x. I can't find this anywhere. Any suggestions?
 
I got a sump I need to sell but it's, 36” long x 18” wide x 15” high

Maybe try the sale ads? Could even post a want to buy, list your dimensions and see if anything comes up.

Thanks, I tried a 36 and couldn't get it under my tank. I found on amazon a make to order sump where I can customize the chambers.
 
# Cromag08 can make you one! Quality stuff
 
Making a sump is extremely easy. Find a design you like and think will fit your needs. Find a local glass company with the least expensive prices and have them cut 1/4" panes to size (make sure to ask them to finish the edges). Then all you need is a tube or two of aquarium silicone. There are a couple of good videos on youtube.
 
Here's the sump I built out of a 20 long.
Petco $1 per gallon tank. $20
1/4" plate beveled glass $50
Silicone 100% $5
I have since added a diy filter floss filter for inlet. Works perfectly for what I need. Excuse the tank, don't have any current sump pics and this was day of transfer.

I would go custom or DIY. You can make your filtration work for your needs when you do that. Much better performance that way.
Nice looing Sump there BTW.
