Sump Quote, Any Good?

I had this quote for a sump, is it any good? The main tank is 190l let me know what you think.

Quote:
We can make a hang-on overflow box fairly narrow by altering the design so that the two chambers are side by side along the outside of the tank (the attached Word file might clarify what I mean by two chambers in the overflow).

We could make a 30" long sump which should be plenty for that size tank, if there would be any particular restrictions/preferences on the dimensions, just let us know. This would be a 3-chamber sump (initial mechanical, main central chamber, return pump chamber) including the partitions, foam mechanical media and biorings/bioballs for a cost of £120.00. The overflow box including the required tank connector, piping and a priming tube, etc (see diagram on attachment) would be an extra £100.00. The height of the central partition in the overflow needs to match the water level in the tank, so we will need to spend some time matching this up to a Trigon 190 in the shop to make sure it would fit correctly.

For the sump ... not too bad. I personally would skip any bio-media [removed mine, like most folks it seems] ... and be darn sure that central chamber will fit your skimmer + other equipment.

Don't know acrylic pricing that well, certainly not in G.B. Sorry I can't help there.
