What sump would you pick?

[Empire]

I was just checking senergy and bashsea.

Bashsea are very vey nice (better be for that price!). Both to have a lot more space than other sumps (even the triggers). But double the price!

But we do get what we pay......

i'll be selling my synergy sump very soon!

I like the stock signature series. What did you change / have customized in it??

size the largest signature series is 60x15x16 and I wanted more then enough room so he custom made me a 72x18x18 for equipment along with a large pump section to run multiple pumps for multiple tanks.

In hindsight I'd go with custom aquariums seamless sump since its all modular and can configure however you like. Definitely not the prettiest and you can't see through the sides though.

Advanced Acrylics Hands down....

They look the best. Hands down. If only they would add the reactors just like geo does so it's easy to replace stuff. And I'd be sold

I think you could ask them to do that... I had them customize some items on my sump. I was so pleased with their work i had them to make me matching dosing containers for ATI essentials (From Left to Right): Dosing containers (Other is behind), ATO, Sump, Remote fuge (The best thing ever!!)

 

[Dabcrusher]

i just bought the trigger platinum 39 to replace my synergy 34. wanted something with a fuge.

do you still have the trigger platinum sump

The Trigger sumps are a great choice.. compact and well built.

I love my 72x18x18 bashsea custom built for my 240 gallon grow out system.

OMG! You could fit a couple small aquariums inside that thing! I'm going to check out your build site!

 

[BillFish Coral Lover]

Not a lot of experience. I've had a couple simple old-style Eshopps sumps, currently a 40G breeder diy I built with my daughter. So, I've been looking for a new system and I really like the Bashsea sumps, especially the smart series. Glad to hear Greybeard's recommendation of them! They are pricey, but I want to take time and save money for the best I can get. And that does not include custom! YET. )

I've owned several over the years.

EShopps: Whoever designed these things has never owned a marine aquarium. Entire sections you can't get to for cleaning? Never again. Cheapest materials... just no.

Trigger: Pretty good designs. Lots of choices. Used to be good quality, but they moved production to China some time back. Materials are getting thin, not the same anymore.

Bashsea: Made by a guy that knows marine aquariums, out of the best materials, construction techniques, etc. Top shelf. Don't see what you really want? Give 'em a call. Chances are pretty good Steve Bashi himself would be happy to answer your questions. Did for me

I have no experience with the others... but Royal Exclusiv Dreambox? Someone want to send me one to review, I'd be happy to do so

Bump on this... Just installed one and his workmanship is top notch and attention to detail and personal attention, bar none.

 

[RobB'z Reef]

Bashsea installed on my 180 with matching ATO, this thing is a dream.

 

[RobB'z Reef]

You definitely get what you pay for, my bashsea ran me a little over 2k.

That much? Huh...
