    Default Which sump?

    I have three sumps that I got when I bought a used tank. I was thinking of adding it to my 125 that has a canister filter on it. Which one should I use if any?sump2.JPGsumps1.JPGsump.jpgsump3.JPG

    I would personally use whatever's quietest and easiest to clean. I'm not a real huge fan of trickle towers that don't have a way for the water to be mechanically filtered before it goes through the bio balls. It always seems that the bio balls grow a lot of nasty gunk if dirty water is flowing over them.

    Ok the one that is dirty is the one she was using on the tank when I bought it, it was a salt water tank.

    I would use the bottom one. No point of a fuge in FW, so the middle section should be converted to a media center
