Acrylic Sump, Where to buy

I've looked and looked at acrylic sumps at different places on the net. I don't know a whole lot about them or the best place to get one. I put a thread on the WTB but I would like to get some opinions on what brand to purchase and from what company.

The last sump I made from a 40 gallon glass aquarium but I want to go with a pre-made acrylic.

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks

Have you looked at the Precision Marine or ProCear Aquatics.

find a local acrylic shop, they can offer some great prices if you have a design in mind

I'll second Lifereef. They are a little pricey but they make a very nice product with excellent customer service.

Advanced Acrylics looks like a descent price.
