I think aquaria.ca has a decent deal on them if you want to check out some pics, etc. .....

P.S. I put a 10" baffle in the first stage of my sump and set it in there. The water level it sits in never fluctuates, and so I didn't have to modify the outlet as other people have. .....

What's the vent line for?

aquaria.ca wouldn't open up. I don't think there is such a site.

The water depth in my sump is 12.5" , although that could be lowered by way of changing the position of the float on the top off float valve, so.....what is this mod you speak of? A water level of higher than 10" requires some sort of modification? Lower than 10"?

Please explain and thanx much,
