Lifereef Sump

[Widdy]

Since Sandy wanted my tank, she just took it. So I'm in the process of rebuilding... in my journey, I've constantly come across hobbyists using Lifereef sumps. I've always used a DIY sump, currently a 20L with the usual baffles. I'm curious what a Lifereef sump offers that a DIY doesn't or can't. If you're a Lifereef sump user, can you chime in and post your experience/insight?

I have a call in with Jeff @ Lifereef for my sump, and it looks like it won't be built until April

Thanks for your time.

Okay, guess I'll just buy one to get first hand experience.

Sorry for the loss of your tank.

I've never had a life-reef sump but looking at some of their sumps I guess it can offer you a place to hold your probes and they can also be custom built for any stand.

My sumps have always been very simple and on my last tank I had a 30gallon long with one baffle and a 40gallon breeder without any baffles.

Jeff does do some nice work but I think customking is also a great sump builder and he's probably less expensive.

I have a 20gallon long if you want for free. It's drilled in the upper right hand corner but you can plug that.

Thanks for the kind offer, ECFencing. I'm currently using a 30g as a sump as well. Spoke with Jeff @ Lifereef, incredibly knowledgeable guy and very helpful. However his work commands a good chunk of cash, and a pretty long lead time (April delivery). I might've secured a used Lifereef and give it a try.

Thanks again, for your reply and offer.
