JimmyK Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Looking for a large sump. Needs to be atleast 50 gallons. Ideal dimensions would be 36"long x 24"deep x 20" tall. Must be acrylic as well. I totaled mine today doing some rehab work on it.DOH! Can be larger dimensions than above but would really like to keep it no longer than 36". Does not need to be pretty just functional....Let me know what ya got. Will be calling shops tomorrow..... Thanks all, can be emailed or pm kuroskij@comcast.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold B Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 O wow its your lucky day Nick at Rose City has/had 3 two days ago just like what your describing, I was thinking about grabing one the other day. Hurry!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyK Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Thanks for the heads up! I called them earlier today and he mentioned two that he still has. I am heading over tomorrow to check them out. They are just a little small for what I want but could work if i cant find something a little larger. They are 36"x18"x17".

Harold B Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Yep, about 68 gallons if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Yep' date=' about 68 gallons if I remember correctly.[/quote'] from my calculations i get almost 48 gal. still a nice size sump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Yep. 36 x 18 x 17 = 11016 cubic inches. To get gallons divide the cubic inches by 231. 11016 / 231 = 47.9 gallons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold B Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 WoW,well I guess I have a real calculation problem. Anyway have you checked with Tim he had a nice one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyK Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 tim has two but they are 48" long. I might pick up a 65 at upscales. It is 36 x 18 x 25 tall. It is glass but I could drill the holes I need. Just hoping for acrylic due to weight.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I have a 48x24x18 but its probably out of your price range. Its made of 1" thick acrylic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpd4308 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 There is a 45 gallon acrylic aquarium on portland craigslist. Price seemed reasonable. It could pronanly be turned into a sump rather easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
