build one ??? they are pretty simple to DIY, pick-up a couple cheap aquariums or rubbermaid tubs, you can set them up how you like and not how someone else likes, and save some cash in the long run.

Definately consider building one. Tou can custom fit your needs. For help with building an acrylic sump/refugium check out a site you can find by googling 'melevs' and 'reef'

I built my own. Like others have said, you're more free to customize it to suit your needs and setup. Prebuilt ones are really expensive. I used a spare tank and skimmer I had laying around, I work at a hardware store so I got free glass and plumbing parts. I only had to buy a return to complete the setup!

I don't think hes looking for a prebuilt sump, he's lookign for an aquarium he can diy into a sump or at least thats how his op sounds.
