The tank is 48x25x25 . Haven't got the stand yet but should have it later this week. So im not quite sure what the exact measurements under the stand will be. Ill be using biopellets so i decided to skip building a refugium
At the moment i have a 40 gal breeder sitting here. i don't want to use acrylic for baffles because it doesn't bond to glass that well and its only a matter of time before theres a leak.
By the time i have glass cut im most likely buy a sump all ready made.
heres some of the designs id prefer
This is what i would love to have
Another prospect
only problem with the truvu sump is that there is a small place for a larger skimmer from what i can understand
and the euro-fil

IMO i would stay awy from any sump that has a foam filter in it, you willl have to clean that filter all the time, mine get filthy quick, and that why i am going to a baffle only sump during the move

If you're going for the aesthetic thing, by all means get a prefab or custom-built sump, but you'll save many bucks by installing your own acrylic baffles. It's not "just a matter of time" until they leak unless your sump design has unusually large water-level differences in the different compartments. Also, most sumps will operate normally even with small / pinhole leaks from inexpert silicone applications, making them a pretty good first-time DIY project.
