metal sump?

[the lion who ate the sun]

I stopped by the local tractor supply company today to see what I could find to use as a sump for my 300g tank. I found this:


Will this work for a sump? Would it be unsafe for the fish?

Main issue is their rubber ones jump from 50-110g, and the dimensions on the 110g are too big to fit under the stand I'm going to build.

As a salt guy it would never work for me. I once was helping build an addition for a guy that had a natural spring in his front yard that poured into a huge, like 500 gallon one that had a bunch of goldfish in it. I would be worried about leaching but in his case there was a huge constant water change going on.

My thoughts exactly. The dimensions are just so perfect. Can anyone confirm?

Galvanized will kill your fish. And rust over time anyway.

Might be able to line it with pond liner fairly decently I imagine.

My LFS has one with a pond liner in it. They use it for housing feeder goldfish.
