Comments: amazing results after adding this product to my tank. Maintence is much easier than the homemade one I had. I did have a bit of trouble getting it to fit in my 120's stand. I had to remove a brace to get it to fit, but overall it is a great product. always go big with a sump :) Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

so done with HOB by curt

Comments: i was done with my HOB skimmer and will never go back after plumbing my first sump. a little overkill for my tank, but you can't argue with the results. enough room for some extra rock and protein skimmer. definitely wish the smaller bs-1 had bulkhead the bs-2 has on the return side, otherwise it would have been 5-star. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Nice sump! by RONALD HATTIE

Comments: Its big enough to fit all my gadgets (skimmer, calcium reactor, heater and probes), and has nifty ports to connect hoses & the filter sock to. I drilled a bulkhead on the exit side, which works great (connected an Iwaki 30RLXT pump for the return). I'm running this under a 90 gal tank. So far, so good! I've got a shorter cabinet, and this unit fits under with room to reach the skimmer. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

so glad i went sump by JOHN DELLAMANNA

Comments: So glad I went sump instead of canister for the filtration. The only neutral comment I would offer is that the manufacturer should consider offering a two piece acrylic top to slow down the evaporation level of the water. With covering the sump, I was evaporating at a rate of 1 gallon daily. A trip to Home Depot, a dremmel, and a little patience enabled me to construct the two piece top i desired for $20. Now I evaporate at a rate of 1 gallon every three days... A few words of caution should you decide to make your own top. But the thicker acrylic (same thickness as the sump) and work very slowly with dremel to keep it from cracking Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Good Sump by JAMEY PRANGE

Comments: Second straight SPS tank I've used this sump for. Good build, plenty of room for equipment, even fit a Zeo Reactor and ER CS-80 in it at the sametime. Only knock (one star) is because of it lacks a rim or bracing on top, you do get some salt creep. Overall very good sump, and make sure to order extra filter socks. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great Product by Zorron

Comments: This sump is exactly as it is advertised. Well built and simple to set up. I glued the baffle piece so that it could be used as a bubble catcher. Unlike other sumps this one has no piece glued to the top that can hinder your space needed for large skimmers. I love it. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
