Good Pre Built Marine Aquarium with Sump

HB Fash · 08/17/2014, 12:00 PM

Hi all

I am currently running a nano marine aquarium and have to say I'm hooked.
I am looking to get a new aquarium and have been looking at buying pre built with sump over buying separately.

Has anyone bought an all in one set up?
I have found a few online companies (UK) who build with sumps. ND Aquatics and Shirley Aquatics are a couple who look ok quality.
If I can find a pre built sump I would consider using this with an overflow box as I am no good at DIY and would be afraid to drill into glass and connect up pipe work ensuring that it's water tight.

Any members know any other online aquarium stockist or fabricators that they could recommend?
I am only at the planning stage and am open to any suggestions ideas.

For information looking for something 3 to 4ft long at about 250-300 litres

Also All Pond Solutions stock aquariums with sumps and would like to know if any member has used them. I have bought their brand external filter once in the past and had problems with it. I am sceptical about buying a 300 litre aquarium

Shipping to the UK would cost an arm and maybe a leg as well.
