I built this out of the sterilite file cabinets, it worked pretty well for several years. Fits really well in a 40 breeder sized sump. For a while I was running about 400gal of tanks on this wet/dry, although I had originally built it to run my 150. I just had an elbow stuck into the hole in the top, there is a removable drip tray, then I had both compartments filled with lava rock for bio media. I had a filter pad on the drip tray for mech filtration. The bottom of the top drawer is also drilled with holes for a secondary drip tray into the lower compartment. I replaced my sump with a built-in w/d, but I'd feel bad throwing this out as it works really well. Free for the taking, I will ship it since its light, but it will probably be around $15-20 since its bulky and I'll need to get a box big enough. If you're interested, give me your zip code an I'll get a shipping price.
