Drip Tray (Replacement)

[13784]

I purchased a used sump that was used in a marine aquarium. I want to replace a box (part of the sump) that served to hold the filter socks. The box measures 18"x11"x1.5". Where can I find a plain, strong, plastic box of those demensions? I'm not skilled, therefore, I don't want to spend the time building a box--I'll likely mess up. If I ever find one, then I'll drill holes in the bottom to serve as a drip tray. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Easiest would be to find a local plexiglass shop and have them make you one. They make display cases and brochure holders etc. Check the Yellow pages.

One of our members was advertizing they made sumps, can't remember who tho, check the vendor list.

If you know the manufacturer of the unit maybe them.

check all of the drawer sizes on the plastic storage units sold at Target or Kmart (not wally world because they are evil) anyway I can't be sure without actully measuring but I'm almost positive they are close to the size your looking for...reasonably durable and easy to work with.

Good idea Wolf3101, unfortunately you have to weld anything to those.
