Disclosure: This is an honest review, I did not receive any compensation to review this sump.
I usually don't leave reviews and this is an exception. I had been looking for a sump for over a year and had reservations with almost every sump I saw. Then I bumped into Bashsea. I looked up the website and was impressed by the product description including the pictures.
I pulled the plug and ordered the 48 inch Ferrari (red and black). It's not a sump, it's a piece of art oozing quality. Even the lid gives you that solid, quality feeling. I have a 200G reef tank and now the sump looks as great as the display tank.
Later, I got a chance to interact with the owner of the company Steve, who is extremely knowledgeable, passionate about his work and cares about his reputation and his customers.
This is a stellar sump, I am impressed and a fan of Bashsea.

You don't want to miss out on these excellent craftsmanship. Adorned in it's Black & White, this Tuxedo Series will have you leaving your cabinet doors open to show it off. Bashsea spares no expense and cuts no corners when it comes to their series of sumps. All Bashsea sumps are CNC and laser machined using a 2-step properitorial welding process right here in the USA. Utilizing a combination of 1/4" and 3/8", 100% ultra grade, all American cast acrylic, these sumps are built to last and will make you want to remove the cabinet doors to show how jaw-dropping your system looks now.
The trim around the top of the sump has trimmed cutouts all around to help organize all those cords from equipement, as well as holes for dosing tubes. No more over tightening those screws down on your probes either. The Bashsea Signature Series Cube, 30, 36, and 48" also come with a 4 probe holder with non-slip grommets.
All sumps Skimmer Sections are fully adjustable with a built-in slide and include matala baffling material before the pump area for added biological value, microbubble management and to keep algae and debris from getting into the pump area!
All three signature series standard sumps include Bashsea Nylon 200 micron socks, and include full lids over sock area for noise reduction, evaporation and salt creep control. Socks are located in the front of the sump for easy maintenance and for full viewing control and operation overview
