I found a couple deals... Which one should I go with for my 75 gallon

1) Aqueon mega flow model 2 with a Mag 7..$100

2) A massive looking sump (no pump)... $30

Any other thoughts?
 
Bigger the better but I would just build one to your specific needs and allowable space.
 
I just figure for $100 I can get a pre-fabbed sump and a nice pump... Is it easy to build a sump? I'd like a 20 gallon long, I just don't have many skills to build lol
 
So I'm thinking about getting the AGA mega flow... Should I use the bio balls or something else?
 
I would recommend not using bio balls b/c they are nitrate factory if not maintained regularly which can be tedious...A refugium, bio pellets, GFO reactor and/or carbon reactors would prob. bet better alternatives for filtration and minimizing nitrates.
 
So the pic of the sump I posted... Can I just remove the bio balls from it and put something else there?
