Only super sump i found looking on google was some youtube video, that looked like the sump joey the king of diy made with a plastic filing cabinet.

If this is what you are referring too, i would personally not use this system for a marine tank. A “trickle” sump properly cared for can work great for a planted aquarium where incomplete breakdown of aquarium waste is reused as plant fertilizer. Not so much with a reef tank imo.

Some key points i would look for in a sump.

-Salt creep is easy to remove.
-filter media is easy to change.
-enough open space that you can add equipment to it.

If looking to diy a sump for cheap look at a berlin sump plan. These are easy and inexpensive to construct from a used aquarium. My main pointer would be buy the biggest that fits your plans.

Example of the diy one i had, before buying a trigger last month. Cost me $20 to make.

The sump I referred to is sold by the company called custom aquariums. Looks like a great system . Www.Customaquariums.org

Your link does not work and the only custom aquarium sump I can fins is something called a seamless sump.
I would stay away from things that are hard to find on the internet.
