Default Trickle fliter

I saw something on Ebay about 2 months ago that was kit to turn a 10 gal
tank into a sump for life rock and algae. Does anyone know you sells
something like that. I am about to setup a 75 gal tank and want to use
75 lbs of rock in the tank and another 10 pounds in a lighted sump.

I have a 75 gal with a sump (converted wet/dry) and a 10 gal tank
refugium. IMO, 10 gal works, but is not big enough. If you want to use
a tank, a 20L might be better. If I had it all to do over again (and
eventually will), I would build a sump/fuge combo out of acrylic like
so many other hobbyists seem to do.

10 gallons might not be big enough for a 75 gallon tank. I have a 55 gallon,
with an 18 gallon tank converted for the sump, and I think it is too small. I'm
about to do a conversion to a refugium, so I will see if 18 ghallons will work
or not for that set up. If it doesn't, I'll have to get a larger one.
