Who all ha had a sump built by ace?? I'm looking to have a ruby30 elite or a mrc 36 reef sump built by him the only difference would be the mrc would be 30in and have filter socks on it and the ruby would have a little bit bigger refugium.

David,

There are a lot of folks here that have had stuff built by Ace. Have you spoke to him, or are you just asking for advice on what model sump you should request or look for?

David, my sump was built by Ace. His craftsmanship is top notch. The best thing about it is that you can sit down with him and lay everything out before it's built. You can truly customize how you want it to work for you. I will never go back to a premade, boxed, "someone else's designed" sump again. Also, he's got so much experience and knowledge that he will even be able to recommend some things that maybe you didn't think of.

Nothing beats custom. No wasted space and everything has a purpose.
When I think of my "Ace made" sump, I look like this...

Oh sweet. That is a sick looking sump. Mine is good but I got about a foot of wasted space that I can't use and my fuge is too small for my tank size. At least IMO.

Ace built my sump as well. Happy Camper.

I had one he built - I think it was his 2nd one. Was great. Will have him build my new one too.

Here's the beast Ace built for me:

I could not have been happier with it. Exactly what I wanted. It was loosely modeled after an MRC bio-sump.
