I am trying to increase my sump size to fit some bigger equipment on a budget. I am using a Clarisea filter roller, skimmer, reactor pump, and return pump. So only planning on gluing in a single baffle to make a return chamber. The rest will be a single chamber. So nothing fancy or custom with lots of chambers is needed.

Thoughts on using something like this as a sump?

I like the cost and form factor, but worried about plastic cracking. Anyone have experience with a budget plastic tote sump?

Any better ideas? Again, space is a major issue as it’s under a 24x24 cube.
