What to use for a sump?
 

Im looking for somthing along the lines of 2 feet tall 2 feet wide and around 30 " long or so. I went to UFA for those rubbermaid troughs or whatever they are called and they no longer carry them. So i need some new ideas.... cheap ideas. all it has to do is hold water and be able to be drilled into.

Rubbermaid.

What kind of rubbermaid and where, I looked for the big bins like canadian man has but they arnt sold anymore.

Go visit Walmart, Homedepot, Canadian Tire.
You will find lot's of options.

can't get a trough in Cowtown??
 

I got my rubbermaid trough (just like Canadianman's and Tony's except grey)@ a farm feed and tack store (Buckerfields).....they also said that people use them for Koi ponds so.....a pond supply place?
Good luck...
PS: I keep the sump level about half so I can snorkle :lol:

A nice bean shaped sump would be cool! :mrgreen:

hey Tarolisol

If you give UFA a call in Airdrie I see the ones like Can Man as I drive by everyday......I think there about 100 bucks

Yeah canadian mans is one size to big i need the smaller size around 70 gallons or so. Do you know where that farms store is..

UFA is on the sw corner of the overpass in airdrie......thats the north entrance to Airdrie if comming from Calgary it would be your 3rd turn off and go across the overpass and its on the SW side

I think they have smaller :rolleyes:

We could always build one as well with the specific dimensions that you need ... the advantage of glass is you can put in the baffles to reduce bubbles going back into the tank ... trying to put baffles into a trough is difficult because it bends easily at the sides when filled.

Getting Mitch to build you one in time may be a tall order though ... a 33g tank also works well. 1/4 inch glass is pretty cheap though and readily available at most glass shops
