Anyone use sumps?

[tommybhermitage]

I'm looming into making a sump for my 125, I do not want to drill. So is there any way I can make one without drilling? Can you list the steps with pictures if you can? Thanks in advance!

Google, MFK and some ingenuity. If you are on a budget, and old acrylic tank can be utilized or even large plastic containers such as Rubbermaid. The best sumps are usually big enough to add to later such as more media, additional return pumps, etc.
If money is no object, again, Google, MFK and some ingenuity. Don't scrimp on the return pumps, or the overflow. CPR Aquatics makes the best hang on the back overflows I have ever used. Pricey, but built right.

Ive only had sumps on tanks that were drilled, one of which I did myself. I know people that use the HOB overflow boxes and love them though. As far as design of the sump goes, there are tons of threads on that here already, so I recommend just pick a design you like thats simple and easy for you to work with
