I have a 165 Oceanic Tank. I have a Red Sea Max Pro Protein Skimmer. However. I want to have a nice low profile overflow and sump system.

Who makes cheap sump boxes for under the cabinet? Manufactures? URL? Links? Most helpful! Thanks, Steve

PS Anyone local that makes sump or can create acrylic boxes?

My vote would be to wait for Ace to contact you. Ace does excellent acrylic work, which is evident in numerous thank you threads. Many people have something made by Ace, and I've never seen a complaint.

I'd say that Ace would be your best bet.

Ace (Hobogato) is the best choice!

Really, I know this is sounding like a broken record (does anyone say that anymore?), but Ace aka Hobogato is your guy.

He's a school teacher, and is used to working for pennies - you will find his prices more than reasonable, and his work great. I now own the tools to do my own work, but always have Ace do it.

LOL......was just going to post about asking for some advice on a sump when I see that Agent Jones is Banned. Hopefully it' not ask Ace out-of-turn and you get banned. :p

I'm sure you can ask away!
