Hi all,
I just finished reading about sumps from the article posted on this site. Let me say that article was very helpful and very well written. I had heard of sumps being attached to a wet/dry filter system and having a skimmer set up in the sump. Can the sump be set up without a wet dry system? The article mentioned that the heater can also be put in the sump as well. Will this really maintain a steady temp in the tank? I'm converting my 55 gal FW tank to a SW FOWLR tank. I originally was going to use just a DSB and LR with a hang on protein skimmer. The idea of a sump to help regulate temp and water changes sounds great, but i'd like to avoid dropping the $$ for a wet/dry system.
Without getting too far off topic, I want to thank everyone in the forum for their help. I'm so glad I found this site. It really has made the idea of converting my tank much less daunting. Thank you all again for your help.
