It's kind of like just after I made my filter sock holder for $29 I found someone is making them for stock tanks and they are only $399.
I could have just bought one.

Interesting setup. Fitings must be non glued as it looks hard to service but is most likely simple.It's kind of like just after I made my filter sock holder for $29 I found someone is making them for stock tanks and they are only $399.

I do it because I enjoy doing it. I already have the tools. If you bought all the tools to make this you would have still saved $100 and got to keep the tools to make other things.Looks great! If you factor in the time spent on it, the time getting material, the cost of the tools, and the time spent developing the skills to DIY something like that - what do you estimate that adds to the $29?
That is 3 7x16 inch socks. The pipes aren't glued. They simply lift out in one piece.Interesting setup. Fitings must be non glued as it looks hard to service but is most likely simple.
I would have never thought to run a line to each sock.
Probably why I run a 7".
Better get a patent on that before someone else does lol.
Looked like 4"ers to my old eyes lol. 7" are so much easier to clean.That is 3 7x16 inch socks. The pipes aren't glued. They simply lift out in one piece.

Agreed. I love the fact that I can build my own sump and design it the way I want as I pretty DIY everything I do. I’ll buy any tool to try and make it the way I want it. Can I buy a $2000 sump sure. But I feel more satisfied building it and on the bright side I saved $1900.That’s exactly how I feel. Being able to build and customize things yourself is a major part of the hobby for me. I love spending the time it takes to design and then build whatever is on your mind. Then, after I build it, I see all the mistakes and flaws in my design and I do it again!
I see I’m not the only person whose figured out that you can buy sheets of PVC for projects.
I am using PVC house trim from Home Depot. That was one 8 foot by 12 inch piece. I can just run over and get some.That’s exactly how I feel.

that is unreal!!!!I don't think anyone is assuming you are bashing anyone else. Just some outspoken members that's all lol As you can see in your thread everyone is of the same mind that at the end of the day it's just a box of water we use to hide stuff in, maybe grow stuff. Functionality is all that really matters, but, who says functional can't be fun too....
No baffles!!! That's what I'm talking about!Sumps are like tanks. Get what you like and what works for you. If you want to spend 1k on a sump or $50 its up to you.
For me 40 breeder with no baffles is what I like.
Super easy to work in and oh it was $50 lol.
