				 To Sump Or Not To Sump 
 Now that I have sold almost all of the Cichlids in my 135 gallon tank I am getting close to actually converting it over to salt water.  The intent is to make this a predatory tank with a Trigger, Puffer, Lion and possibly a Tang etc. (basically messy eaters).  The tank currently has two Aqua Clear 500 filters on it.  I was wondering if it would be wise to drill the tank and install an over flow and sump when I tear it down or if the external power filters would be adequate as this will not be a reef tank.  Does anyone have any thoughts?  I already have a 50 gallon tank kicking around that is not in use that would make an ideal sump.  The other option is to go with an overflow box instead of drilling. |
