CUSTOM SUMPS, REFUGIUMS, RESERVOIRS, BERLIN SYSTEMS

Here is just a sampling of the hundreds of custom projects that have been designed and fabricated at Lifereef.
Perhaps one of these designs will work for your application. If not, let my 26 years of sump/refugium
design experience help you with your project.

Should you like a quote for one of these projects or additional information please ask.

Dimensions can be changed on many of these (hence "custom") to fit your cabinet space and we can discuss this when you order. I try to get as much versatility into your sump as possible. It's not just a 3-compartment plastic box with a filter sock thrown in as most of those others are.

Though some of these have been designed for the RSM aquariums they can also be built for the JBJ aquariums too!

Remeber, custom means I can build sumps and sump/refugiums for any application and most any size.

designed for that custom need!

Each system is designed based on

your needs and requirements and
physical limitations of location.

an idea of your creation, you can be
assured that it will function as planned.
