What do you think of this sump?

:notsure: Hi there. I'm doing some research on what sump and skimmer to get for my 150-gal high tank. I came across this one that I really like:

and maybe this skimmer to go with it:

Does anyone know anything about these and if they would be good for my tank? Any help would be greatly appreciated

The sump looks nice but why not build your own for waayyy less? Plus you could add a refugium.

actually the right side of the pic is where the refuge would go, its basically the same design i'm going to be building for whatever the price of a tank is plus some plexiglass from HD.
if you're able to take that pic and formulate something in your mind, then build it yourself. otherwise go to melev's reef website and get one of his acrylic ones for a lot cheaper.
oh, btw, don't link competitor's websites here, its insanely frowned on.

I would definitely suggest build it yourself, especially at those prices.

22 gallon is a small fuge/sump i have a 20 long for my 55, i would get a bigger one like 29 or 40, if i had that size tank i would go a 55 for sf

I agree, build you own. You can get Acrylic sheets to build from sites on the net.
I am going to build one, just need to get the size of my stand that I am going to build so I know it will fit.

Thanks so much, everyone, for the advice! I'm not really a DIY'er; I'll probably end up buying a ready-made sump. And oops-sorry about posting the links.
