I think I loose about 10g when the return goes off. I wasn't really paying attention when I turned it off today....

Next step is making my own with a 50....
The Rubbermaid is working well for now. I like how it has a lid LOL
But hopefully something else will come up in my price range.

I agree, it was too high for you, otherwise I woulda harped on you to buy it last Saturday :lol:

Anyway, find a tank and we'll build it together

One caveat though ...
We build it at my house where I have room and tools, not at your house with "limited space"

I have a friend with a 3' x 18" x 2' tall 65g for $80 if you're interested. It'll be available this weekend.

I think thats a bit too tall for sump use.
I have my 65 with the same dimensions i could use if it came down to it, but id be left with only 1 inch between the rim of the tank and bottom of support beams.
I think 40" long
And 20x20ish would be my max
I totally wish i could do a 75 or something, but not in a 4ft stand.... i have all my electrical i want to hide under the sump with a partition.

There is a tank sale at Rogers Aquatics in Surrey at the moment and they had a good range of sizes there.

If you can't find something used then it may be worth giving them a shout to see if they have something that will work for you.

48 is too long :( I still need room in my stand for the electrical.

I will have to see what king eds vs rogers is like. King ed wont give me their prices on the phone so that doesn't help.... Anyone know what a 3ft 50gal is from them :lol:

I ideally want a sump that will last the lifetime of the tank, not something that's 10 years old and going to start leaking in a year.

I have a 50 gal glass Hagen 3 feet x 18 x 22.5 height. Good condition, no leaks for sale but it is 10 years old. $50 firm. Pm if your interested.

Ouch for that price i can grab one from the petco dollar per gallon or petsmart canada clearance where i live for 75.

I tthink i might have this settled.
Moloto has a 50 getting a fresh batch of silicone that i can hopefully get some baffled into next time im here.
