Sump problem

[Jack Eskay]

Hi everyone,

I finally filled my new 70 gallon today only to realize there was a crack and a leak I'm only 15 and can't afford a new one unfortunately. Do my question is does anyone know where I could find a new or used sump for a good price. I'm in Germantown, md.

Thanks to all that can help!!

That's too bad Jack. I have no idea where Germantown is, but I'm pretty sure it's not in Canada

Try Craig's list or a local fish club, someone in the club might have a tank to help you out.

I've tried both lol... unfortunately the it seems everyone in Craigslist and the forums have 24" when the most I can do it 20". Thank you though and I will continue looking. And sorry I must have forgotten, it Germantown Maryland lol

Petco $1 a gallon sale?

 

[Jack Eskay]

I thought about that but my parents won't let me build my own... and when making one I'll have to wait for the silicon to dry and become reef safe

In the mean time you can buy a Rubbermaid tote from Home Depot that will work, they're affordable

Extra lying around^^^

Ten gallon as your sump? Sure!

 

[Jack Eskay]

Great! There's no dividers or anything though

 

[AcanSkywalker]

That's okay, either a tote or the ten gallon tank will work fine until you can afford to get just what you want.

Silicon couple baffles are not not bad at all. Silicon aquarium safe is $4.50 at homedepo and u can get a couple acrylic or glass to make the baffles very cheap over there too. Very easy to do. Let me know if u need some pics or anything. Just make sure that the tote u using is food safe or aquarium safe if u r going that direction

I wouldn't use your QT tank as a sump if you have ever used copper in it before.
