Where to buy 75 gallon tank with overflow to sump with refugium

sean4348 · 11/17/2015, 12:25 AM

Hey everyone, I am trying to purchase a modern 75 gallon tank with a sump where I could have a decent size refugium. I currently have a 14 gallon biocube that have been running for 3 years. I have a 75 gallon tank without any drilled holes so I can't get a natural overflow in a sump. I would like to spend around $1000 for tank, stand, and sump. What are some good websites I should look for a tank?

I currently live in Los Angeles and I am looking for a good shop to get live stock, live rock, and nice died rock.

Are you against modding your 75 so it'll be able to OF into a sump? I had a 75 I drilled to take a ghost overflow going into a standard 29g tank turned into a sump.

Here's a little on the beginning of my build:

I'm not sure what you mean by modern...do you mean rimless? Once you find a LFS, they will have plenty of options for you to choose from.

I would recommend Deep Sea Aquatic's line of tanks if you don't want to drill your own.

I would save some fish money and drill what you currently have if it isn't tempered. Most LFS' will drill the tank for you for a minimal cost.

Thanks for the advice. I am not sure if it have tempered glass or not. How can you tell? I meant a tank that is has modern features Rimless, overflow, etc. I have never heard of a LFS drilling tanks for people. Would anyone know of a location in LA that would do that?

I just learned about that the other day. What a shame. Because they do make nice stuff in my opinion

Do you have a pair of polarized sunglasses? If so, put them on. Look at the tank. Tempered glass will dark spots or even dark lines. Move around the tank changing viewing angles relative to the light to make sure.

If you don't have polarized lenses then just carry the tank to a sunglass shop and try some on.

It's free.

(I know this won't solve your desire for a "modern" tank, but like was mentioned it will save you big $$$)

scaquariums.com they have some decently priced setups...

If you like euro style or rimless then there a few like Elos to pick from. However a custom tank builder close to you might also be a good choice.

Standard rimmed tanks can be ordered at Petco with an overflow.
