How is the All-Glass Aquarium Model 3 MegaFlow Sump Filter?

[fishcrazee]

I'm thinking of getting this sump for my 75g reef tank, which isn't set up yet. Does anyone have an opinion/experience about/with it? I go back and forth between buying a sump or building one myself, but I don't have a lot of tools/saws etc to cut acrylic, so I'll likely buy one.

Which brand is good for a purchased sump?

Hey man...I wouldn't use it if you were going reef. That's a wet/dry which means a nitrate factory. If I were to buy one, it would be custom built by a company (like I did) or you can get something like cpr pro refugium or something like that...HTH

Yeah, that's what I thought, people have been telling me to build a sump or get one built....... just wanted some more thought on the matter. Could I use LR rubble in place of the bioballs? Throw a light on top with some chaeto? That's what I was thinking I would do if I did get it.

Which brand is good for a purchased sump= Oceanic

Hi Fishcrazee I just wanted to pass on what i have used With my All-Glass Tanks and I have have very good luck And really enjoy the use and room they offer I personally have 2 Oceanic sumps and Have never had any trouble with them If you order a complete kit It has every thing to hook right up to the bottom Bulkheads on you all-glass tank.I don't know of any Dealers in Iowa but On Reef Frontiers I do know that Blue Sierra is a dealer.And possibly Aquatic Dreams? I have posted a link below to a site that has about the best info on Oceanic sumps Good luck with your choice...HTH..Jeff
