Wellp, here's that video of the Vertex sump :D

It's $2500 USD shipped and include all the plumbing (fancy red pipes, fittings, conversions, silicon adapters, etc). No announcement on CAD MAP yet.

And it's not a sump, it's an entire filtration system. Anyway, the product is a fanboy's dream, not a budget savvy solution.

A sump is a $500 venture for the better setups, and $150 for an el-cheapo unit.

I'm going to kindly disagree with you here. Having seen what the industry is like in the States and abroad, I'm fairly confident in saying that a serious setup down South bears very little resemblance to what we see on the boards.

Agreed, lots of people willing and able to drop that kind of cash. It's a purdy unit for sure, just not something for me this side of a lottery win
