Basement Sump Update

Cool can't wait to see what you come up with....the rubbermaids are nice, but trying to get baffles in are another subject

I saw somewhere a post where the guy used the sterilite containers instead of the rubbermaid and just connected them with bulkheads and pvc, also another guy used smaller container inside the larger one. They both did this due to the difficulty of installing baffles in the rubbermaid type containers.

i got time to plan so i might get a brute trash can as possible baffle or a plastic container and put baffles in it

I'm using a sterlite 50 gallon container for a sump. Has been going now for 3 months a little noisy, but soon to be plumbed to the basement, and the best filter I have ever had. I have another sterlite 20 gallon for the bioball chamber which sits up on top of the 50 gallon.. I have pics on another diy wet dry thread somewhere in here. No ill effects from using the plastic stuff that I can see yet.
