CURRENT PRICING - UPDATED 9/5/23

The TL;DR version:
The I Don't Mind Reading All Of This version:
In case you missed it: CWT Aquatics was merged into Turbo's Aquatics at the end of last year. CWT Aquatics was originally formed for the purpose of manufacturing acrylic sumps that were compatible with Algae Scrubbers. Just to alleviate any confusion...CWT was always a separate entity from Turbo's Aquatics and Clear Water Scrubbers and was a joint venture between Josh and I until I bought out his half of CWT last year (it made sense to both of us).
Over the last year, I've been working on a new style of sump that will allow end users to custom-configure and re-configure the sump. I'm planning to roll this new line of sumps out later this year or early next year.
That leaves me with a stockpile of the CWT sumps. I'm going to blow these out at below the wholesale price. Let's be clear about what that means - I'm selling these directly to end users for less than what I would charge a distributor. This is the best deal you're ever going to find for a sump of this quality, possibly ever.
These are great sumps and they look slick. They are designed around integration of an Algae Scrubber, but the support rails are repositionable and removable so you don't need to use an Algae Scrubber.
These were originally carried by BRS & SaltwaterAquarium, but I pulled them due to the new sump in the works - I don't like selling a previous version of anything I make without some kind of disclosure about what is coming around the corner. No one likes buying something and then finding out that something new came out a week after you bought it.
VERSIONS
There are 2 versions of this line of sumps:
I have both versions in stock, both "new" (undamaged) and "blemished" products, and I have a few levels of "blemished". I'm discounting all of these down to blowout pricing. These prices will stand until they are all gone.
SHIPPING
I am applying a flat-rate shipping to each size. That will be the "max" shipping. If the actual shipping turns out to be less, I'll refund the difference.
One catch is that the largest model (the 55S) is an oversized box, so the shipping on that one is really steep (one of the reasons I'm ditching the product line). The 50S is also technically oversized, but sometimes UPS doesn't check and it skates by (but if not, I eat the excess).
(this part probably don't apply to anyone here, but just in case.....) Local pickup is also available, but you must contact me for this option instead of purchasing via my website (my workshop is located in Grimes, IA, in the Des Moines metro area)
AIR CARGO SHIPPING
This is an option for anyone who lives within reasonable driving distance from a major airport that has Southwest Air Cargo available. This is generally a next-day option, and is for the 50g and 55g sumps; these are rather expensive to ship no matter who you use, but Southwest Airlines generally is less expensive than UPS.
I'll follow this post with snippets for each sump

The TL;DR version:
I have over 60 sumps in stock, ready to ship. These are a style I have discontinued, I have current versions, previous versions, and blemished units.
See them all here:
SPECIAL NOTE: I have dropped these prices an additional 27% below where I had dropped them to at the end of last year. Super mega stupid low price blowout clearance prices!!! I just never got around to posting up this thread last year.
