Will this sump work have an Emergency need to fix.

My 75 gallon tanks marineland c-530 canister filter was sucking air for the past month and blowing micro bubbles every 10 min or so. So I began checking into upgrading to a premade acrylic sump. Now here's the catch last night during the Cherry corals sale I went under the tanks cabinet and saw water dripping from the top of the filter and found a small crack in the top of it:(
Now I'm heading to my LFS tomorrow and looking at getting the http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eshopps-Ref...443704?hash=item25a6b18cb8:g:aZIAAOSwZd1VW-yy so you think it will be good for my 75g tank if the power cuts off and drains back into the sump? enough extra space?

For a cheaper price you can get a trigger ruby 30 s and it will hold plenty I have a 36 s on mine and its great .

The Eshopps one is a little over $230 and the trigger 30's are over $300 and nobody carries those in stock have to do something quick.

That fish place has them for about 219

That fish place

which fish place?

 

[Whatnow]

Maybe a trigger plain crystal sump for $240 but not the Ruby version.

That pet place that fish place just google it the reason I suggest the 30 is because I got the 36 and had to remove the center brace in the stand and put it back to get it in the 30 will go in perfect.

The trigger is a fuge and you won't be disappointed.

I think it's pretty sweet looking. I have heard that the return section is in a bad spot and you can't see the level of water.

The other problem I have is that I have HOB Eshopps psk100 skimmer that is brand new and so the skimmer compartment would be a waste for a while till I can trade or it breaks lol.

Can you not return it if it's brand new?

Just wondering if the Eshopps R100 is large enough for my 75g tank.........

You won't need a canister filter
