do people seriously pay that much for sumps????

i know I dont have the nicest tank in the world but I feel a sump while benfitical doesnt make or break a system. I really think a skimmer once you hit about $300 mark your paying for the longivity of the pump not so much the "better" skimmer and a return pump the same thing.
a couple cheep reactors and filter socks and clean plumbing?
my 40 G sump was $75 and IIRC $20 for glass baffles 350 for a skimmer 350 for a return pump and $50 in PVC for it. couple reactors $100.
hell $3500 is more than most peoples full set ups before livestock.
I hate being poor
