I made mine with acrylic sheets bought from plastic store in brooklyn. 80g cost me less than $200.

thx deanos ,,but gfoce sump is too big ,and Joes is too small ,,,ill looking for a weird dimention ,so i guess i have to make it on my own or see if anyone here builds from scratch ......it has to be ,,,20 inch or so long ,,and 12 to 15 w,,16 or so high ,,,,its goingot fit perfct that way and have room to put a good skimmer in the sump ,,most important for me ,,

Check out his site. That's how I learn to do mine. First time doing it also. As far so good. You don't use silicone for acrylic. I used the weldon which I got for free from this plastic shop. I put silicone in addition after the weldon has completely dry. But don't really have to if you glue it well.

As far as getting it done ,i could just buy one for 150 made to my specks ,,but it will be glas ,,i dont like acrilic cuz it scraches upto fast ,,,

im also considering making another tank to go with that sump ,run 2 tank on the sump ,this way i could put inverts in one and corlas in the other ,

see glass is like bad with me, glass cracks on uneven surfaces, also glass is really a pain when you want to add stuff into the sump, like holes and etc... but whatever you perfer i guess heh

btw glass scratches pretty easy too
