I need ideas on what to use as a sump/ refugium. I rather not run a wet dry system. Any ideas for something of this size?

I was looking to turn either a 120 or 150 gallon tank into the refugium. There aren't too many places that sell large sumps/ refugiums.

I would like to keep this under the tank. The dimensions are 96" x 30" x 44" tall.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
 
How big is your stand. That will limit you. I tried a 55 under my 210 and it was tight. Made it hard to get at skimmers for cleaning and maintenance. If u go with a big skimmer it will most likely come to bottom of display. That's if I read correctly and u want sump under dt.
 
Yeah, I would like to keep everything underneath the stand, the stand height is 44", but 42" is more realistic.

Please keep ideas coming. Thanks
 
mlreef I would probably rethink the stand being that tall to be honest, climbing a ladder that high gets old very fast and is a real pain to get anything up in the tank or too clean it. My 450 is that high and I've already thought about rebuilding a new stand out of steel and having it powder coated but I really didn't want to redo the whole front framing and drywall.
