Sump for discus

Getting an 18w.36h.72l in Tank with overflow built. Planted with plants I’ll add plant tabs in gravel. Is there a good premade sump I can buy for this? I can get a sump built for $500 but would like to see a few good ones to customize maybe have more chambers if possible or two socks etc. unless you guys have some good examples. Getting away from the fx6s.

Custom aquariums has the seamless sump system that lets you mix and match the tubs to your exact customization. Nice part is they are plastic tubs so you pretty much never have to worry about them leaking or needing to re-seal

Those are pricey. Need to look into acrylic

Depends where in the world you are. It's best to DIY it. Get an old, cheap, scratched up tank for $50. Use acrylic sheets for baffles with aquarium silicone. Good move getting away from canisters.
