    i paid 100 for my 65g tank stand canopy and sump (came with vho setup but i didnt use it ) and the sump was the wet/dry type with exterenal overflow . Since i made a diy 10g sump i sold the wet/dry sump for $60 on craigslist so i paid 40 dollars when all was said and done for the tank stand canopy

    No, I gotta find my own overflow. I'm trying to buy used but since things in Michigan are so horrible people aren't allowing any haggling for what their selling. Instead they want to get what they paid for the item or more, rather than what you usually expect for a used item (about half of what you paid, give or take)
    It's getting bad up here.

    Wow Bioreefdude, that's really neat. I'm scared to try something like that without some one hovering over me telling me exactly what to do.

    Gutierrezre, what area you from? I'm in Taylor-tucky.
