Hi, MFK, I'm in the process of building a wet/dry filter for a 210 FW tank. Planning on using 2 sterilite drawer towers for dual overflows. What would make a good sump. The longer the better. dimensions under the tank are 18" by 84" and 38" high. Would like to have something about 6ft long, it would give plenty of room for refugium type of idea. I was thinking of going all out and making one of acrylic, but it seems too involved and pricey. Also a used tank (75-90 gal) I have been thinking about converting, but I haven't came across any with the dimensions I want. So any idea on what to use, such as Rubbermaid containers or anything else would be great!
DIY sump for 210, what is best to use?

I was going to say you could put the 75g but I measured mines and it is 18-1/2" wide at the black trim. You could run a 55g sump and a canister filter.
Thanks for the info, I might try to squeeze a 75 gal in there. I was also planning to run a fluva 405 of a Magnum 350. Also a UV unit.
I have a 75 gallon sump and an Fx5 on my 200 and it works great. I have sterilite containers with holes drilled in the bottom. Bio balls on the bottom and a filter pad and floss on top.
