Custom Sump vs. Megaflow Series
If you had a custom sump built specifically for your tank for around the same price or cheaper than a megaflow series sump, which would you choose.
|
Custom all the way. Those megaflow sumps are badly dated for modern reef use in that their trickle filter/bio-ball chambers are no longer necessary. There's also little to no room for a refugium and its tricky to install equipment such as a bigger skimmer or phosphate reactors.
You can build a custom sump out of an old aquarium for far cheaper that will be far more flexible. |
I'd go custom all the way!! For sure! Way more options.

Eshopps
I suggest Eshopps reef series. Newly avail in Canada. Filter socks, large skimmer chamber...relatively good pricing (much better than megaflow!)
And you dont wait ages for someone to build you a custom one! Nate |

There's no magic to a sump - when you think about it a "sump" is just a container to hold extra water; it doesn't have to have any more than that. |
Custom
Custom all the time. It will suit your needs not what they perceive to be your needs.

I used a #4 megaflow for the store set-up and it is a P.O.S. dont waste your $$ on one of those, thin acrylic bows like mad when half full of water, go custom or look at the Oceanic sumps, comparable for price and better constructed.

Custom ofcourse!
(Lol @ no-sump option! Haha). |
