    I looked into the DIY projects involving a tank and yes I could have tried but I honestly think I wouldn't have been able to seal the baffles correctly and just end up with a messy looking sump tank so figured buying a small one wasn't too much damage.

    Anyways yeah I did buy it a few days ago =(. Not sure if I could add an additional baffle to stop any bubbles but you really think the foam doesn't work too well? How often would you clean the foam?

    Take a look at the Quiet One pumps.

    Inexpensive, threaded inlet and outlet, use little energy, and are very reliable.

    Use a QO3000 on my 200g for a return. I used a QO3k as a return on my 90g as well.
