Refugium Sump

So who makes the top Refugium sumps out there? I have been looking at the Trigger Systems 34 in Amythest. Are there others out there same price or lower that are basically that design or better? Getting ready to start a new system. TIA

Trigger systems and esshops seem to be the leaders in that space. I think trigger produced quality products.

Lifereef should be at/near the top of the list..

Of course I'm really not sure anyone has an edge over the others.. There is really nothing novel about a fuge sump IMO.. Its a darn box after all...

Budget and space constraints are really so user specific..
To me one of the most important features is how they handle light shielding to prevent light spill outside of the area intended to be lit..

I wanted a bigger fuge with control over the water so I did an EShopps and a remote fuge that pours into the EShopps center section.
