What are the dimensions that you are looking for?

 

[Logan16]

48"Lx13"Wx16"H

Is smoke color OK for you? Do you need all the plumbing and bulkheads?

I have to check to see if I have enough acrylic if smoke color is OK.

how much you think it will cost?

 

[antwood]

Well you already messed up and told me how much you were willing to spend!

Honestly I don't know.... I have to think about it. I don't even know if I I have enough acrylic.

You might want to try RC, there a ton of dudes on there that have all the jigs, and could whip one out in a few hours.

I don't have any jigs for anything that big... I would have to make them..

Logan:

Those are the exact dimensions of a 40 gallon long. I bought one new at Meijers for around $50.

Why don't you just get some glass baffles and make one yourself? You could put the baffles anywhere you want to accomodate your skimmer. You could also have it drilled by someone here or take it to Pet Connection for $20/hole.

It would probably cost you less than $100 to make the entire
thing.

Here is a picture of my 40 gallon long sump:

hey skyler,

i can see that the baffles on the ends are much taller than the one in the middle but i cant tell for sure if there are in fact two shorter baffles on the inside of the tall ones. guess my eyes are fading at old age. could you clarify for me, i may consider building one like that.

thanks,
john

Yes, there are 2 there.

It's easy to silicone some glass into place and make your own sump\fuge. I see "factory" built ones for $300 to over $1000, wow. Custom ones don't get any cheaper either.
