Cool thread! I love sumps!

This is mine. It’s a @geo sump and I am in love with it. Amazing build quality, awesome features and obviously gorgeous. Worth every penny and I’m from Canada so shipping it here was a dime or two. It’s still dry as the rest of the project is taking some time to get the funds together but this year she will see water and I can’t wait

I love my geo sump and fuge. I had a life reef lf1300 for 6 months. It was the biggest piece of s@$t I ever wasted my money on. I contacted geo and never looked back.

Interesting you have had such issues with your Life Reef setup, I love mine, the craftsmanship was top notch, Jeff was excellent to deal with and I'm SUPER happy with the results, especially his skimmer. This was when it was first installed, I've had to take the tank down unfortunately do to a recent move but it will be back in action on a bigger build this spring!

Have two home made sump out of used tanks. One off 300 gal reef and the other for 300gal fish only system. Both in the basement.

I have a Greyfish aquatic sump, custom built for my scrubber.

I've always had DIY made from aquariums or plastic Rubbermaid type containers. I have 2 heavy duty storage containers on my clownfish breeding and raising systems and I just made this one out of a 40 breeder for my other 3 tanks I have plumbed together. One is a Reef, one is an anemone tank, and one is a frag tank. I made the baffles out of ceramic tiles. It's in the basement so I really don't care too much about it being fancy. The main reef tanks stand is too short and has small doors so that's why it's beside it instead of under it. Easy to work on though.
