Scarf,
I have a slightly used MRC Reef Sump. It was customed by MRC to size down the demensions to fit under a 75g stand. So instead of 36x18x18, it is 36x16x16.
This model has the built in refugium and originally sold for $385 plus shipping. I bought it off the original owner from my reef club who broke down his tank and had it in use for about 4 to 5 months. I basically got it to replace my AGA 30L but the MRC sump didn't fit my configurations.
Paid $200 for it and am looking for the same amount or I'll just keep it for future use.
Here's a link to MRC's website of their Reef Sump, just that it's 2" less in width and height.

pecan that sump is nice, $200 is a little more than i was planning to spend. i know it's a great deal but i have to see my options.

No problem scarf.
That's why I didn't put it up for sale when I figured it wouldn't work on my 120g. It's pricey to begin with and you need to be a sump lover to pay that kind of $ for a sump

The refugium is kind of cool, it's flow is not dependent on your overall turnover rate that are on most DIY sump designs but rather by whatever small powerhead that you attach to the refugium bulkhead via tubing.

Scarf,
By Aaron's PM, I'm guessing you guys were trying to reach me today but I left my phone at work after I turned it off during a meeting. Sorry about that but I also had told Aaron that I might be tied up after work today.

Having said that, it might be a good thing that you didn't make the trip all the way out here cause I just remembered that the guy who originally ordered the sump through Reef Exotics from MRC might have had more than just the 2" off the width & height to fit his 75g stand.
I came home pretty late tonight and went to measure the sump and it's actually 30" in length, not 36" like the standard model.
So the sump measures like this:
30"L x 16"W x 16"H - these are outside dimensions.
Inside dimensions are:
Refugium area - 17"L x 7"W
Incoming drain area - 17"L x 8"W (this is where the 3 baffles are and there is a 1" drilled bulkhead in this section for an external skimmer pump)
Return flow area - 12"L x 15"W (this is where you can sit an insump skimmer if preferred and there are 2 bulkheads drilled in this section for external return pump or pumps. 1.5" & .75"

Sorry for the miscommunication, if you still want it LMK. If not, definitely not a problem. As mentioned before, I would just keep this for future use.
