    Hi Marine Buddy,

    Is me again. Wanted to ask this question in my earlier topic but don't wish to mess up the e.mail info there.

    Can anyone tell me where can I get a commercially available sump and a overflow box that can attach/ fix (no need drilling) to my 2 ft marine tank?

    1. what is the address of that place ?
    2. what is the price range ?
    3. Anyone got 2nd hand sump/ overflow box that was used before in a 2ft marine tank set up? Willing to sell ?


    Thanks
    Ivan

    never heard of 2ft tank requiring sump.. if u need.. get another 2ft and put partition inside them and 2 powerhead.. one to draw water to the sump.. the other to pump them back to the tank.. the partition is to put filter media..[]

    having a sump for a 2 footer is great! a fren of mine has one an had very gd results. he used the sump for a refugium though.
    er if u wanna keep corals try not to go wif a wet dry. no2 will be converted to no3 very quickly in large amounts. corals dun like it.

    BTW, I'm quite old already. But I think should not have communication problem since we have the same interest.

    Probably will contact you after your exam.
