Formerly Freshwater December 23, 2011 Share December 23, 2011 I'm a 13 year old hobbyist just staring up a salt tank, and I cant decide whether or not to put in a sump. My dad doesn't want water all over the floor, so he says to just go with a hang on filter, but I want some advice from some more experienced people on whether or not a sump is really worth it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Welcome! I recommend watching these videos with your dad: http://www.wamas.org/forums/topic/45652-bulk-reef-supply-videos/ They help explain a lot. Start slow and do lots of research. A hang on back filter is fine for a starting system. See video #1! -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
