Question where to get a custom sump?

I have a 44corner pent and I need a custom sump built in the stand. Does any one know anywhere local to get this done? Theres not enough room to slide the sump in so it has to be built in place. Acrilic or glass dosnt matter.
tia for any input

BK if you see this this is the sump i want made. I want 1 maybe 2 sets of baffles. other than that its simple. It has to be built in place to fit in the stand. I will call you to set up a time.

BK's custom built sumps are horrible.


Just kidding I have one they are solid and any configuration seems possible. I just saw the one you made for Craig nice work man drilling all those holes must have been fun but amazing work. I don't want to hijack this thread but BK how's the chaeto growing did that bulb work? If not I got a few of the ones recommended on Melev's site wanna try one?

let me know

Hey Paul,

That bulb works perfectly. I don't have enough bad stuff to make the cheato grow but the mangroves are growing like crazy...Now that I look at it the cheato did grow a bit also...

How is your lps to sps transformation? I still can't talk you into a larger tank?
