[hedgehog01]

Hi

I am going to build my own sump/refuguim for my 55Gal Aqua. I am set on acyrilic and a size of about 20-30 gallons. Currently I have a CPR bak-pak skimmer that I would like to utilize until I get a sit in skimmer. Does anyone know of a source for a good but cheap external return pump and info on building your own sit in skimmer?- all being reliable equipment. All suggestions accepted!
