Rubbermaid Sump

[Mobious]

I remember seeing someone post a few pictures of their sump made up of a set of rubbermaid containers.. One large one with the lid and several other small ones inside... Does anyone remember who this was? I would like to set up something similar..

Thanks

Ironically, I'm using the same containers to create a refugium to re-cure liverock.

That's pretty neat... What I really need to do is buy a house.. I would really like to have a fish room.. So I have more room to add stuff on..

Hummmm must have fish room.. Must have....

Do you really want the connecting pipe to be that high? IMO if you are going to fill up those containers that high with water they will bow out and break. The clear, hard plastic container are very brittle IMO. I wouldn't fill those containers more than 1/2 to prevent this.

I built some supports for the top out of fencing bar. Works great. No problem with the water.
