Bashsea sumps- feedback, pics, etc

[tunicata]

Hey, I saw some bashsea sumps earlier today and was surprised to see a pre made sump that almost met my requirements.

So, if I went the pre made route, I would consider them.

Any one use the sumps? Notes about quality, performance, longevity of materials, cost, etc?

If you have their other stuff, feedback and pics are requested. I'm not a name hog but do prefer simplicity.

I had a bashea reactor. Quality was very good. Not sure pricing point as I didn't buy brand new. I have had a few custom king sumps for last three builds high quality imo

Yes, I've had custom king stuff and I like Jeff. However, I'm looking around at pre-made mainly because I want a big sump, at least 48" if not an extra 1-2'. He and I have talked sump design before but if I can go as big as I hope, then it may be out of his size range.

It all will come down to pricing, quality and # of needs met.
If I can afford custom from someone on MR then I'll definitely get it.

Big sump, upgrading or trying something different with current setup?

I am hoping to move in a few months to a place with a basement. If I can swing making the basement habitable then I will be upgrading.

A lot is up in the air, especially with size, but I want to make a project plan so I have to begin to solidify ideas.
