I built the sump for my 75 using a 29 gallon Petco tank. A local glass shop cut 4 baffles for less than $20. I bought a CPR aquatics Sock-It to hold the filter sock and drain line. I've been pleased with it so far.

I wanted to use a 40 breeder but it won't fit under my stand.
I have the same size sump tank you bought and I have a glass store near by .
I’m new at the reef but not general saltwater fish that I have maintened without a sump.
I bought a reactor and fixing to get a skimmer that I was told had to be right next to the outlet on the reactor. Can you tell me what all you have in your sump and will I need the baffles ?

Hey DeepBrew, do u have any pics or dimensions on ur sump for ur 75 gal conversion? I'm in the process of converting my 75 gal freshwater to a salt predator tank. Also an update on the results and/or changes u would make knowing what u know now...

Thank you in advance
