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.
