Sump Tank Vs Canister Filter. - Page 3

main reasons for a sump is that you can maximize the amount of live rock, the best type of filtration you can have in a SW tank. also refigiums are easy to setup in sumps. protein skimmers are also best setup in-sump [some can only sit in-sump]. these three methods are the backbone of SW filtration.

Its fairly easy to setup. you will just need a submersible pump or a internal power head to pump water to the outlet of the tank.

sump is cheaper than a canister...
