WTB-Looking for equipment and suggestions

Automatt · 11/16/2010, 08:41 PM

Hey everyone im starting a new build on a 25 gal rimless cube. Im looking for Some equipment.

Sump- Something that will fit into a 18x18 area. the tank is that size and i will be building a stand to fit.

Pump- I need a pump that will give me sufficiant flow from the sump to the tank.

Anything else you think will come into handy. overflows, good suggestions on building the stand. anything that will be of assistance to me. This is my first real build all my other ones have been in nano cubes and biocubes or tanks with filtration in the back of tank so basicly no brainer kinda stuff.

Thanks
Matt

Well there you go! At least you know the size! You could do some pretty cool bafflework with a cube tank for a sump!

Matt,I have a rio pump and a mag pump 7 but its too much flow I think.

Automatt · 11/27/2010, 08:28 PM

Ya it would deffinalty be a cool idea for a sump but im attemping to do this on a budget. I went and bought a 10 gal aquarium. I have some acrylic sitting around so im gonna do a three chamber refugium in it. I have seen a buncha people do it so ill give it a try. If it ends up not being enough then ill look into something else. Still need a pump though.

Check out this build, not quite a budget build but it has great ideas for your tank.
