 Topic: Aqueon ProFlex Sump
Posted: June 10 2014 at 11:28pm |
Just wanted an opinion on the Aqueon ProFlex Model 3 sump. I just found one for $179.00 new. We just bought a 90 gallon tank and need to get a sump for it. This seems like a great product, but I thought I'd ask the community.
Thanks :)
Oh, and does anyone know if the JBJ auto top off will work fine with this sump? :)

Looks pretty good other than using a large skimmer may be an issue. Nice price too!
I cannot comment on the ATO, but my guess would be yes.

As i read more about sump, that was on of my concerns as well. I'd get the model 4 sump which is larger but my 90 gallon only has one drain instead of 2.

You could build a cheap manifold to take care of that if you needed to.

A fancy way of saying to plumb your one drain pipe into two using PVC pipe/fittings. I hope that makes sense?

Ah yes. That makes sense. And that is actually what I'm thinking of doing now :) It would be nice to have the larger sump for more water volume and if I get a larger tank down the road I will already have a larger sump too :)
Thanks.
