gulfsurfer101 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Looks really clean. Awesome work. Link to comment
D Z Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 The sump kit is awesome looking. I believe someone used to sell these a while back, but disappeared for whatever reason. This may be a really good market to get yourself into. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 This is a complete copy of the (Patented) InTank Media Basket, made by StevieT (One of our sponsors). Sending him this link Edit: I like the rest of your work, the hang on AIO is impressive. However the design for the basket is so obviously copied from StevieT, who I appreciate and admire his hard work. Your ideas are great, and the workmanship impressive. I do not approve of copying the design of another without permission though, Link to comment

Sending him this link This was my personal DIY project, there are similar one in the market if you want to get into that. I could design a different one if it's a problem with Steve copyrights respectfully. Jumping into someone's business was never my intention. Link to comment

I though this may be helpful for reefers looking into sump setup without spending tons on start up cost Link to comment

I though this may be helpful for reefers looking into sump setup without spending tons on start up cost I also really like the Sump Kit, sorry that I came across negatively. Its just StevieT made his company from the ground up and I really admire his work. I would hate for an InTank counterfeit to spread around What is the estimated pricing of a 10g sump kit like that? Is silicone included? Link to comment

Is silicone included? No you're absolutely right, in fact I wouldn't want my designs sold without my permission either so I can totally relate. For the sump kit, I think a fair price for me is $85 + shipping, silicone and 10g tank not included ($5.27 for silicone at Home Depot, and $13-$15 for 10g tank at Petsmart/Petco/Walmart). It takes more man hours to do what I need to without a CNC/Laser cut machine, and make it look professional...you can imagine the efforts. Link to comment

For the sump kit, I think a fair price for me is $75 + shipping, silicone and 10g tank not included ($6 for silicone at Home Depot, and $13-$15 for 10g tank at Petsmart/Petco/Walmart). It takes more man hours to do what I need to without a CNC/Laser cut machine, and make it to look as good...you can imagine the efforts. Have you ever sold a 10g Sump Kit before? I thought I saw a similar one by another reefer here on NR Edit: It was by ReefGalleria. Is that you? MrReefer81 likes this Link to comment

tibbsy07 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 That 10g sump kit looks gorgeous! Link to comment
MrNanoReef Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 That 10g sump kit looks gorgeous! Thanks man. I made the first chamber 5in wide, this is to allow the use of skimmer like SC301 which I plan on upgrading next from Aquaticlife Mini 115, but you can space the baffles however you want to suit your needs (skimmer, refugium area, return) Link to comment
