That's a great idea...especially with the prices of those fluval units (I'm assuming you're talking about the venezia or whatever ones...) With that price tag you can usually get a nice size tank drilled with a sump LOL

Thanks for all the replies ... and suggestions ...

I decided yesterday to go with a 90 gal with internal overflow and 40 gal sump..
picked it up with a stand for half the price of the fluvol ...
now I need some lights and a protein skimmer so I can get the cycle started ..

anyone got some for sale ???

will post pics later...

Good to hear that you went with a sump and a PS

IMO ever since i started using protien skimmers i have noticed a difference in my tank and wouldn't run a tank without one
