Anybody here using reef sumps made by ESHOPPS ?
Here is the link: http://www.eshopps.com/reefsump.php

I saw them yesterday in a local pet store, they
are quite expensive: RS-200 is about $200...

I was wondering if they are good and if they can
be purchased somewhere online little bit cheaper.

It's remarkably easy to make your own out of a tank, like Wayne said.
I made one from a 20L. The water flows over a couple of baffles and I
have no problem with bubbles.

How did you deal with baffles ?
How have you installed them ?

I used standard window glass, which my local hardware store cut to my
specifications. I just siliconed them in place. Between the section where
the water drains in and the middle section I have three baffles. The
middle one is about a half inch off the bottom, the idea being that the
water would flow under this one and over the next, giving bubbles a
chance to dissipate. If you look around on DIY pages, you'll see this
illustrated. If I can do it, it's eeeasy!
