I decided to set up a sump and then didn't like it. so now i'm selling it. It is complete and ready to set up. The overflow is almost brand new except for one tooth missing where the water flows in. It has two black filters in it. It is 16" long and sits 5" on the outside of the aquarium. The pump is brand new and only used a couple of times. This is the dimensions 6" x 2-1/2" x 3-1/2",
the max head is 6 ft, the gph is 480 and the watts is 28. It does not lag down and kicks a powerful punch. The aquarium is drilled on the side so the water flows in to the aquarium. The return pipe is thick plastic pipe that i put together and works great. I want to sell it all together for $100 but will part it out if needed.

That's a nice little sump. What made you suddenly change your mind, if you don't mind me asking?

Well, at first i had these great big ideas and slowly started putting everything together. It was on a 65 gallon square predator aquarium. I was planning on putting my predator aquarium into a larger one and my 20 gallon reef tank. I then got the chance to get a beautiful 46 gallon bowfront that i just recently put my reef tank into. I didn't want to have the sump and everything on it if it was just going to be a predator tank. I have a magnum 350 on it and like it just the way i have it. I dont' have a skimmer on it and change the water quite often. I could have and should have just said i ended up not needing it but i tend to make a short story quite long. When i did have the sump going for the long 2 days i used it, i really liked it but i like to keep it simple. Too many things go over my head.
